Do you think that drinking every weekend at college is considered excessive drinking? Or is it the normal life style?  Because it seems normal, but not that healthy...

My school is well known as a party school and drinking every weekend is the norm for about 70-80% of the student population, although that is just my guess and not a scientific poll.  I think it's fine as long as you don't get passed out, blackout drunk every weekend.

I drink every weekend and I'm still 17. I don't think its excessive. Some Uni students over here drink every night. Now thats excessive. Me and my mate once drank every night in the half term, it made me feel disgusting at the end of it. Never again.

My school is known across the nation for drinking and there's definitely a stigma attached to that, but a lot of my friends don't drink and there is always something fun to do. It's just a matter of looking for it.

I'm personally not a big drinker at all. I'll have one or two drinks when I'm working, but I never drink at parties. It's not really something that I consider fun. I don't really enjoy parties all that much anyway, they sort of bother me.

It's relatively "normal" (depending on what your definition of normal is). But it isn't all that suprising to know a college student who drinks every weekend.

That is totally normal. It's college and most people would say you aren't drinking enough.
