AS and Parties

Post Reply New Topic

i don't really drink alcohol a lot, just on occasion. i have a lot of beer and wine at home, but usually cook with it than drink it.

I don't think I could really find myself drinking at parties. I remember I went to a party, but I didn't drink anything. It was really loud, lots of people, and a smaller-sized house. I pretty much spent the entire time on the couch, and went home early from the party because I didn't like it very much. Of course, I thought it was going to be a smaller-scale party, but more and more people found out about it and then lots of people came. I don't know if I'd ever want to drink strictly just to get drunk. If I were to drink, I'd rather be a social drinker and drink a little with my friends. I heard from my grandpa, who is a DSHS worker, that if one drinks one serving of alcohol per hour, you will never get drunk. Of course, it applies to the average person, but most of the time is the case. As my college is a dry campus, there isn't nearly as much alcohol use as in some of the bigger state schools around. There are also rules at my college that student-athletes can't drink or do drugs, or else we can't compete for a certain amount of time. However, drinking still happens. I think that to make friends there are a lot of other opportunities besides drinking: there are teams, clubs, religious groups (as said before)...lots of stuff besides parties.

well I remember I used to drink to ease the social stuff too, I drank one or more vodka glasses each time before I had to go out (even when it was during the day) with someone. Plus the drinking at the parties, yes... it kinda helped. But I guess I came to, once in the morning, when I woke up at six o´clock and I just had to drink some booze because I knew I had to go to school that day .... well now I rather dance at parties, even if they aren´t dancing parties and that helps MUCH more than alc. And I dance even at home when I am nervous or have to go somewhere . It feels better and people always join me .

I never drink at all and never go to parties not only because alcohol makes me very uncomfortable to be around but also because I am too anxious in large group settings anyways.

Three years of college and I've never been to a single party.
