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...

Depends how much you drink every weekend, I guess

it might seem normal but it just depends on what college you go to. every weekedn seems like alot but it just depends on how much you drink too.

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.

not excessive but quite fun...

Hehe, good point!

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.

My school isn't even known as a drinking school and people still drink every week.  I'm not a big drinker so I don't but I do get high usually every week so meh.

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.

kind of stupid considering how stupid it makes you


-- Posted by TheatreMinelli at 3:18 am on Nov. 19, 2005

Hmm, I like to drink, and I wouldn't call myself stupid.


-- Posted by EmCheers4U at 2:08 pm on Nov. 20, 2005

I'm going to say its normal. We drink every night up here. Its the only way to get by!


-- Posted by Brooke01 at 3:48 pm on Jan. 11, 2006

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


-- Posted by Samnoel at 6:55 pm on Jan. 11, 2006

i think most (definitely not all) college kids drink a few times a month.  I think every weekend is a bit excessive, but it is quite regular among all the college students i know...

well it depands if ur a piss ead or not


-- Posted by taurus bebe at 2:09 pm on Jan. 12, 2006

Yeah, it's normal. Fun, too. As long as it doesn't get to be unhealthy, like getting so drunk that you throw up or pass out. But getting a little buzz...every week...nothing wrong with that.


-- Posted by candygirl05 at 5:06 am on Jan. 14, 2006

Drink - you only live once, you will regret it later if you don't make the most of your college years.


-- Posted by sile at 5:09 pm on Jan. 27, 2006

I think its normal but whether its healthy or not depends on how much your drinking.If your getting paraletically hammered every weekend then your liver isnt gonna be to happy with ya!


-- Posted by itsluvthatimsendin2u at 10:25 am on Jan. 29, 2006

Only weekends? I'm a student and I go out drinking most mondays coz its 'happy mondays' cheap drinks, and on thursdays coz its a good music night at my local, and then a couple nights on the weekend, and usually at the pub quiz on sundays... and I often have wine with meals on other nights...! Is that really bad?


-- Posted by jaxjag05 at 9:46 am on Feb. 3, 2006

ITs college, have fun.. worry about that later

    Drinking can be good and can be bad. It's bad if you get wasted and can't get an erection. The alcohol makes the girl a sex animal and then you fail and she shoot s her mouth off all over school  I learned my lesson and only take several to loosen me up and give me the nerve to do just about anything in front of anybody and everybody. I make  sur  e she gets polenty, however.
