His girlfriend when they first began dating (they were both freshmen) Drank a lot.  She often was at parties and getting drunk (on a weekly basis).  He got very upset when she frank.

He seemed to influence her a lot.  she suddenly stopped then a month or so into the relationship.  She never touched alcohol this past entire year as a sophomore, but her friends all continued to drink (not as frequently, but they went out and she was the only one NOT there)

Do you think it's "Controlling" for men to influence their girlfriends about alcohol?  And do you believe she will eventully want to drink again, especialy when she turns 21 or has her own apartment?  
(like is it inevitable for people to want or desire to drink again if they no longer do, but at least had a taste of it?)

She'll probably drink in the future. She'll probably drink once she breaks up with him. She'll probably drink when she's 21.

You can't just expect her to live the rest of her life without touching alcohol just because some boyfriend didn't like it.

If she believes that it is bad then she won't touch it again. If she is doing it purely for her bf then she is gonna start back up.

I agree with you.
I just don't know if she actually has the same belief that it's bad.
And also, I don't know the reasons she drank or anything.  I ASSUME she had a lot of fun with her friends while doing it - and a lot of that it taken away from her now.  

So it's hard for me to tell in this instance.

What, too crazy?

And besides, as a guy who's not AGAINST alchohol but doesn't DRINK alchohol, I think it is silly to not let the GF drink. Of course I am against a GF smoking, so I can understand why she stopped smoking. If she really liked the guy. You know, the guy cares about her, hes not THAT controlling. He NEEDS her to not drink in order for her to be better for him, I guess. If yo start depending on drinks to get your mood light, youll never be able to be a fun person without alchohol stink coming out of your mouth.
