(Keep in mind I usually drink a six-pack and don't have black outs). I have around a 75% average right now, but I'm trying to get it higher so I can get into grad school. Some people have told me that I have to go out less and stop getting drunk to do better in school. On all other nights and all other days of the week I work hard. So my question is: if you're in college, how often do you go out (e.g. go to the bars) and get drunk? What's your average? Is it still possible to go out twice a week (getting drunk) while also getting really good grades into the 80s? Note: I'm referring to getting drunk when school is in session. During the summer it doesn't really matter, but someone told me even getting drunk during the summer will depleted your brain cell reserves and result in poorer academic performance!

Replies Maxilos Posted at 2:46 pm on Oct. 12, 2009 I seem to be an odd one here, I find alcohol very unpleasant. The disorientation and stupidity, combined with nausea, make for a bad time. Occasionally, when I've smoked a fair amount of bud, I'll like a small drink, one shot of vodka or one of those fruity girly Smirnov Ice things, will really make the high a lot better, but that's only if I've smoked a Lot and I don't drink any more than that. Trumpeteer Posted at 6:19 pm on Sep. 29, 2009 I went into college thinking that alcohol was the worst thing that I could ever consume and that I would stay away from it as much as I possibly could. Now, I've tried a few different things, but I've never really been "hammered." The "worst" I've ever been was when I had 4 shots of Captain Morgan Private Stock, and even then I didn't really feel it very much. On topic, though, I usually only drink socially, and I don't go out very much, so it's usually only once every week and a half or so. MrCarrot Posted at 8:22 pm on Sep. 28, 2009 0 times. Ever. Falcone Posted at 8:00 pm on Sep. 28, 2009 I get completely shitfaced twice a week. Usually thursday and saturday. other than that, i don't drink cause i have class. my gpa is about 3.2 TigressaLynnMae Posted at 2:10 pm on Sep. 27, 2009 I don't. I'm in college to study and get a job, not party. Ice318 Posted at 11:08 am on Sep. 27, 2009 i was drunk 4 days in a row this week :s ... iamironman Posted at 8:11 am on Sep. 27, 2009 I have a 1 drink max. I don't go out and get drunk. Only issue I've had this year was when someone slipped acid in my one drink. uPiNsMoKe420 Posted at 2:58 pm on Sep. 26, 2009 Well i always drink on friday and saturday nights, plus i have four beers before my night english class on tuesday and thursday... and i usually keep drinking once i get out of class... then probably one other odd day. So 5 days a week LOL crazzycat87 Posted at 4:33 am on Sep. 22, 2009 Usually it happens from two to three times a week! RIMHfire Posted at 12:04 pm on Sep. 11, 2009 I don't know enough people to get me booze, so I hardly drink at all. But if you only drink on Friday or Saturday night, then that shouldn't be bad at all. At my school, kids go out on Thursday night, and I don't think that's that smart to do. musicfan3 Posted at 2:03 pm on Sep. 6, 2009 Well ask yourself this are you going to school to get good grades or to get drunk? I mean is it really important to you to get drunk two nights a week? That seems like an awful lot to me. MotoMojo Posted at 11:04 am on Aug. 26, 2009 Honestly, I party every weekend night (sometimes including Sundays), and I usually go out once on a weekday. Sometimes two or three times, though, depending on what's going on with my classes. Glam Up The Scene Posted at 1:56 pm on Aug. 19, 2009 Friday and Saturday nights.  Sometimes on Thursday nights.  You just have measure yourself. Maybe you can only do it once a week to have study time. ariaski Posted at 11:29 pm on Aug. 17, 2009 depending on what classes i have in the week normally once or twice (thurs and sat) - sometimes 3 if theres a house party on the friday. Rickenbacker Posted at 3:34 am on Aug. 13, 2009 I just graduated from college, but I think I still drink as much as I did a month ago. I drink a beer twice during the work/school week, and maybe 5 on Friday or Saturday night. Most recent 15 of 66 previous replies displayed.
