Hey, I don't have a problem with non-drinkers at all - some of my close friends don't drink. It is when the non-drinkers get on their high-horse about it.

If you drink, cool. If you don't, thats fine too - but don't spout off with a holier than thou attitude about it..



I party hard anywhere from 3-8x/month prob.
 
Work hard, party hard. That's my motto.
 
I hope all the friday night loners here come down from their ivory tower long enough to be able to relate to a patient.

It will be priceless the first time a 16 year old girl asks you about contraceptives and you gasp. Oops, you just lost credibility. So much for that 4.0!

I wouldn't exactly call the 4.0 priceless. Having a life and experiencing it to its fullest, however, is, IMO.

yeah, but what i seriously dislike is posts like the one i've quoted above that give us non-drinkers/non-partiers a bad name. everyone in this thread needs to get over themselves-- some people party, some people don't, and there's no use judging anyone because of the choices they make. jeez.

Some people have gotten really worked up over this. Lighten up a bit. Laugh about it. Are your emotions really so wrapped up in what others think that you actually get offended by banter on an internet forum? People differ on whether or not they drink. Some people love getting drunk; that's cool. Some people just enjoy their drinks on occasion and love to hang out sober much of the time; that's great. Some people simply don't drink; that's fine too. Who really cares? No one group is "lamer" than the others. Each group has some in it who are very sociable and others who are...less sociable. But that doesn't preclude some witty banter or honest statements of what we may tend to think about something (i.e., personal opinions). We don't need to be judgmental about it. Enjoy the debate or just stay off the thread. Not everything has to be so serious.
 
I can't imagine being a crazy partier and doing well in classes. Don't get me wrong, I love my beer and do enjoy drinking, but I can't imagine getting completely crap-faced and getting up the next morning and studying for exams. I don't have the power.

this is what i'm saying-- those non-partiers who are on their "ivory towers" give the rest of us non-partiers a bad name. i am NOT on a high horse. i would NOT gasp if someone mentioned contraceptives. i'm normal. i just don't like to party. also, i don't care if you do-- no judgment. it's just not something i enjoy.

All 3 of my 4.0 semesters have been all sciences (full loads) but my lower semesters (the 3.6-3.8 ones) were are liberal arts... hmm... coincidence?

ahahaha, can i ask...what was he dressed as. more importantly, what were u dressed as??

as for me this halloween i was an amazing mix of the following: pirate. priest. man with dreads. I also carried around an ak-47 toy gun. baller status, achieved.😎
unfortunately by next morning it would appear that i had been raped because i lost half my costume, my gun was broken, and my priest gown was ripped..

1st week back is fun but still Halloween wins just because, you women have absolutely no boundaries.

hahahaha he was dressed as james dean. my costumes always suck and are essentially my clothes made more revealing, not gonna lie. hahah

anyway, to those of you who ask why we can't "lose control" and have fun without alcohol, we can! i can! i do all the time (esp when i have to drive)

alcohol does something wonderful. it loosens your nerves. it makes you less uptight and more likely to go talk to that pretty girl in the corner that's been smiling at you. it makes you more likely to get up on stage at the karaoke bar and sing what you've been wanting to sing in front of people forever but haven't had the guts to do. it makes you smile at rain and laugh at getting turned away from a bar.


(that is, of course, not in complete gluttony)

i think a lot of people who are commenting as if those of us who drink don't know how to have a good time without alcohol are assuming the minute we put the first drink to our lips we get completely smashed and black out. not the case. freshman parties? yes, very much the case.

anyway it's always hilarious for me when i'm the only sober or tipsy person in a room full of drunks...i usually take vids on my phone and show them to the people later 🙂

jeez don't get your panties in a knot 😛 different people have different strengths. my ao gpa is a 4.0 because i have a knack for the lib arts and for whatever reason don't have to try very hard. maybe you would be able to party while doing the full sci semesters and still get those 4.0s.

lol, teasing back. I'd say by your response your panties are the ones all knotted up. Sorry, next time I'll add an oversized smiley to make sure you understand my post was all in good fun!

A couple times a month for me, although I cut back after getting sick earlier in the semester.

(Irish Carbombs + copious amounts of liquor=:barf:)

I haven't been able to drink since. Its a good thing.

Doesnt matter though I still made the Dean's List and maintained my EC's just fine. You just have to know when to cut back.
 
all the 13-16+ people, show yourself. I would like to room with you next year. 55% are 1-4 times/week?!? what do you do on weekends and college nights? go bowling? read? movie nights? (semi-joke, but not really?)

I work. Also, at times, I work. If I'm feeling really, really frisky, I work more.

On the off weekend night I'm not working, I go out to eat with friends or build blanket forts in the lobby with anyone willing to play with me. And once a month or so, I have a night to hang out with friends and just watch movies, play video games, or prank good-natured fellow students.

😉

I voted 1-4 because I hate going to apartment parties. Realistically, I consume alcohol probably twice a week. Usually, I just split a 6-pack and poor some bourbon with my roommate and talk about stuff. Sometimes, we have pseudo-parties at our apartment(~10 people) and drink together.

Apartment parties are awful. Drinking out of a keg ought to be a sin...and drinking beer that costs less then soda ought to be a sin, too. It comes out frothy, and I HATE getting drunk off beer because you piss your brains out, you get fat, and you feel all bloated the entire night.

I'll talk a couple strong drinks at a bar or my apartment followed with some quality beer over some nasty keg party any day of the week.
 
Partying:
1st year: Probably 20+ times a month.
2nd year: 10 times a month
3rd year: 6 times a month
4th year: ~3 times a month

Partying /=/ drinking

My partying was inversely correlated with difficulty of classes. My gpa stayed high enough and constant the whole way through.
 
Southern Comfort or Capt'n morgans spiced 👍👍👍
 
i've only had the 100proof soco. it burned. 🙁

i'm a wino and martini fan. i don't understand drinking liquor straight, though...it kind of tastes like poison half the time.
 
Anyone have raw (unrefined, unprocessed) tequila. Now that stuff burns.

I drink bourbon...however, I put it on the rocks so the water dilutes it some.

Here's what I don't get. People here at Tech will buy nice liquor and then mix it. What a waste!!! It's not expensive because it'll getchadrunk faster, it's expensive because it tastes good.

i like jd on the rocks but it gives me a deadache (head ache that feels like i'm dying)
i was more talking about plain vodka or plain rum...if it's really high quality i guesss.....but if it's smirnoff or malibu no thanks

good vodka + pomegranate juice = DELISH

I meant more along the lines of people who buy Single Barrel bourbon or Patron and mix it with Coke or Sprite. 🙂

Vodka and rum are gross. 😛

should come with a disclaimer that it is too easy to drink an obscene amt and suffer the consequences.

A friend of mine picked up a $3 (yes, $3) bottle of tequila when he went to Mexico, worm included.

...I could barely get past the smell. Taking a shot of that was used as punishment when we were playing a drinking game.

Haha. Lovely.

For drinking down there, I prefer their beers. The beers made down in GDL make American beers, including microbrews, taste like gasoline.

But yeah, tequila is great mixed in drinks but no so much straight.
 
i love taking tequilla shots with the lime and the salt. eetz my fav😀

Current fad?

Drunken Board Game Party Night.

So fun. So indescribably fun.

Replace drunken with tipsy, and this actually sounds like a lot of fun. I just might have to try it out next semester.
 
We turned mario party 3 for nintendo 64 into a drinking game. its actually a lot of fun!!!!
 
We did the same for Mario Kart on N64. It's such a blast! We refer to it, though, as "Beerio Kart".
