Pages: 1 2 3  Next -- Posted by teenager17 at 3:57 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Right now I'm in my third year of college, and I only get drunk once to twice a week, on a Friday or Saturday night. (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! -- Posted by The Bartender at 3:58 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Maybe a beer or two a night, but I don't get drunk very often. I go out to socialise, not to get drunk. -- Posted by La Motta at 3:58 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 24/7 nigga!!! -- Posted by Vintorez at 3:58 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 i never drink -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 3:59 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 I just finished my first semester, and I only went out once...ever. Really though, I think as long as you're being responsible you should be fine.  Although I suggest not doing it on school nights. -- Posted by xRagsx at 3:59 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Never gone out and gotten drunk. I've seen too many idiots trying to stumble back from the frathouses to their dorms. I do drink when I go home for the weekends, though it's with food, and it's wine. >_> -- Posted by Eclipse2005 at 4:01 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Never. -- Posted by switchfoott052 at 4:01 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 i should be in college but since im a drop out i don't go but i drink every weekend and as soon as i move out of my house in a few weeks i'll be drinking almost everyday. -- Posted by Uhhello at 4:01 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 ' Note: I'm referring to getting drunk when school is in session.

' true dat -- Posted by ElephantStone at 4:02 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 I go out at least once a week. Since starting uni I have changed my drinking habits completely. I don't go out to get trashed any more. I just have a few beers to socialise an loosen myself up. I meet far nicer girls that way and I don't end up feeling shit in the morning. P.S.  A six pack getting you drunk is awful light. I mean that's what Id drink to loosen up. -- Posted by jessicries at 4:02 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 That would be never! Big waste of time and money as far as I am concerned. -- Posted by EarthEmpire at 4:04 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 I don't really go out and get drunk on a regular basis. I have around 95% average, and I still find time to hang out with friends, I just don't get trashed weekly. If you want an 80 average, you can probably do it with drinking. But is it really that important to you to be drunk on 2 days of the week? -- Posted by snowfish at 4:05 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 I rarely go out since most places around me card and I'm under 21. I get drunk two or three times a week, although I have a drink pretty much every day. -- Posted by Event Horizon at 4:09 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Depends. Are you naturally smart or do you need to push yourself to get good grades? I'm in a pretty tough program so I usually schedule my drinking around my coursework [Aerospace/Astronautical engineering with a minor in Philosophy]. Also, we typically don't go OUT very often. If I do go out it is to one of my room mate's frats [Two of them are in two different one's, myself and the last room mate are independent] but that's maybe once a week, or once every two weeks. Typically, though, we drink at our house at least 4 nights a week. [though, of course there are a lot of times when my work just doesn't permit that]. I typically don't get that drunk, but I do like to get a good buzz going on. Maybe like 6 or 7 in a usual night. But I'm naturally smart --as they say-- and can get B's without much effort. Some of my friends resent me a bit for it I think, because I can drink frequently and smoke every day and still maintain a dean's list GPA and rank. So, I guess you can take what you will from that --though to me it sort of just sounded a lot like boasting, even though it was supposed to show you a counter example... -- Posted by Bakker at 4:12 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Only once or twice a month but when I do I get really wasted. -- Posted by NimseyScissorFace at 4:17 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 i get drunk on fridays/saturdays usually, sometimes i just have a few drinks -- Posted by teenager17 at 7:21 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Quote: from EarthEmpire at 7:04 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 I don't really go out and get drunk on a regular basis.

Good point, it doesn't really mean a lot to me, maybe I could have a drink or two instead and just go out once a week... -- Posted by Sins and Demons at 4:18 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Heres how i see it, if you drink only two nights a week you should easily be able to get your work done during the other days as well as your studying and get any grade you are aiming for. If you have a job or some other big responsiblity that may change but if you think about it going out for a night of drinking only takes up the ending part of the day maybe into the early morning, theres plenty of more time to attend to your school things. -- Posted by bryce101 at 3:34 pm on Dec. 23, 2008 i get wasted every friday and saturday.. some other days too if i dont have to wake up too early, but i had 8ams so it killed me. i had a 3.0 this semester which is 85%... as long as u study for ur shit and not get drunk and do ur work.. ur fine. just dont blow off work, and u can get drunk as much as u want. -- Posted by txbball08 at 10:27 am on Dec. 24, 2008 If I drink heavily it's usually just maybe twice a week (mainly Fri and Sat). Not to say I don't have a drink or two throughout the week though. -- Posted by summer fling at 6:50 pm on Dec. 24, 2008 i drink atleast 2 nights a week (friday and saturday) and occasionally during the week depending on what i have in my  classes the next day. my gpa was a B- average not because im a partier but because i suck at chemistry no matter how much i study and it pulled the reast of my gpa down. i had a 3.2 before that class. -- Posted by jennay at 12:16 am on Dec. 25, 2008 probably once a week, sometimes twice. i would do it more but my friends are pretty lame so whatever. i know plenty of people who drink almost every night and still manage to get excellent grades in difficult classes. other people drink once a week and then are all off whack and cant concentrate on their work. it really depends on the person. -- Posted by BackPorch at 11:00 pm on Dec. 27, 2008 I get actually "drunk" once every month-once every couple of months. I drink a couple times a month though. It varies. -- Posted by Colleen35 at 12:54 am on Dec. 28, 2008 I drink probably every two or three months...just not big on it. I know some people who drink a couple nights a week, and get great grades.  They seem to be unrelated. -- Posted by definite124 at 7:41 pm on Dec. 30, 2008 weekly but don't get wasted -- Posted by HatesYou at 8:24 pm on Jan. 1, 2009 Not much of a drinker but i'll smoke thursday through sunday. mostly because thursdays im in class all day till 9pm and i have a lab and i just feel like hanging out and doing something after. friday because i'm done with class at 10am and... its friday... and the weekend because there isnt shit else to do but party. -- Posted by ludlight at 2:07 am on Jan. 3, 2009 I drink almost every day -- Posted by Rickenbacker at 4:10 am on Jan. 3, 2009 I'm 21, probably get slightly intoxicated once a week, drunk every other week. -- Posted by soldierofjustice3 at 9:23 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Ruined 3 nights out of the week. Thursdays, Friday, Saturday, and then catch up on all the work Sunday. Drinking to excess is kind of our thing here. -- Posted by carr1620 at 12:14 pm on Jan. 6, 2009 I live in a Fraternity house and usually all my bro's get drunk thursday, friday, and saturday. It is a bit sloppy. I do not drink. Just never been for me. Pages: 1 2 3  Next
