-- Posted by PennyandMe at 8:45 am on Jan. 9, 2008 What are some reasons for MEN not to drink in college???  Could it be a bad experience with alcohol? -- Posted by worddsonn at 8:47 am on Jan. 9, 2008 Maybe, just maybe, its because they are focused on school, and more productive things. -- Posted by yerneh2002 at 8:47 am on Jan. 9, 2008 grades pressure dont like to binge drink -- Posted by newview2010 at 8:48 am on Jan. 9, 2008 I don't drink, but I dont really know why...I guess I just have more fun staying in with friends or my gf and watchin movies or playing games. -- Posted by yunasfinalfantasy at 8:49 am on Jan. 9, 2008 I do not drink but I can find ways to have fun without driniking.  I don't drink partially because my liver is already fucked up from when i was born. -- Posted by dinosaur egg at 8:51 am on Jan. 9, 2008 Now, I don't get it at all. You make it sound like it was the only appropriate thing to do while in college. I'm a student, I drink, but I know many people who don't - so what. Doesn't suit them, can't stand alcohol, have liver problems, takes some medication ... Go ask. -- Posted by MiNNiCK at 8:54 am on Jan. 9, 2008 I know plenty of boys who are more focused on their schooling rather than trying to party it up. In fact, I hate big partiers...because they're usually the ones who party on the wrong days. Fucking up education is a real big deal. If you didn't care about education in the first place, then don't apply to a college. Simple as that. -- Posted by kelbel1990 at 8:55 am on Jan. 9, 2008 Maybe he's just smarter than all of his friends. -- Posted by Maxxie at 8:59 am on Jan. 9, 2008 I don't drink because I consider it stupid and compeletely useless I'm really happy without it. Besides it's shitty for the health. -- Posted by PennyandMe at 9:06 am on Jan. 9, 2008 Well this kid is not THAT focused on his grades or extracurriculars. I dont think he even made a 3.0 -- Posted by snowfish at 6:53 pm on Jan. 9, 2008 family members with a history of abuse. -- Posted by obvious child at 7:49 pm on Jan. 9, 2008 Quote: from maxxie at 6:59 am on Jan. 9, 2008 I don't drink because I consider it stupid and compeletely useless I'm really happy without it.

And the wallet. -- Posted by Rickenbacker at 1:38 pm on Jan. 13, 2008 Maybe he is just an introverted person. -- Posted by iHeartLoehmans at 12:58 pm on Jan. 15, 2008 These are all great reasons.  Besides, I've seen a whooole lot of stupid and disgusting behavior at college parties, and he probably doesn't want to be a part of it.  Best way to find out: talk to him! -- Posted by crimsontide05 at 1:31 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Quote: from maxxie at 9:59 am on Jan. 9, 2008 I don't drink because I consider it stupid and compeletely useless I'm really happy without it.

There could be hundreds of reasons out there of why he doesn't party. From only partying at small parties to family history of alcohol problems to the simple fact he doesn't like to. -- Posted by GRINDHOUSE at 6:43 am on Jan. 28, 2008 Quote: from crimsontide05 at 1:31 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Quote: from maxxie at 9:59 am on Jan. 9, 2008 I don't drink because I consider it stupid and compeletely useless I'm really happy without it.

Wait until you get a little older, you'll see the reasons for drinking. I drink but only a few beers, however when playing games which includes shot I can definitely hold my own. -- Posted by Anonymous at 9:03 am on Jan. 28, 2008 Quote: from GRINDHOUSE at 8:43 am on Jan. 28, 2008 Quote: from crimsontide05 at 1:31 pm on Jan. 27, 2008 Quote: from maxxie at 9:59 am on Jan. 9, 2008 I don't drink because I consider it stupid and compeletely useless I'm really happy without it.

I dont see any good in it, what does getting buzzed do? what good comes out of it? Fact is most people drink because it makes them look good to their peers,. drinking aint gonna take away from problems, it will just be right back when your off the buzz. Theres no good in it -- Posted by nateslife at 6:00 pm on Jan. 28, 2008 Some people don't drink because of religion. I don't drink because i believe in God and that drunkeness is a sin. I also don't think that a mass quanity of alcohol is healthy! -- Posted by FlamesofJustice at 5:41 pm on Jan. 30, 2008 Well there could be several reasons why he does this. First of all, (and the rest of you should take note), it could be because he is trying to show respect for those who are paying for him to be in college. Do you know how many freshmen drop out because they partied too hard? This isn't high school anymore. Not that I'm saying that you SHOULDN'T have fun, but remember, once you get out of college you have to take responsibility for yourself. Secondly, like other people have mentioned, perhaps he is too busy with school work. Thirdly, he could've had bad experiences with alcohol and could be trying to kick the habit. Lastly, maybe he just plain doesn't like alcohol. Rare as it is, it exists (*points to self* :P). You could ask him yourself, but do not push him if he says no. -- Posted by I Am Will at 8:32 am on Feb. 6, 2008 i go through cycles of hittin the piss and havin a good time, then hittin the piss wayy too hard and fucking myself up a few times, then saying im never drinking again!, so i dont drink for a few weeks and then bam the cycle restarts! -- Posted by Windrunner at 5:33 pm on Oct. 6, 2008 I am a Junior in college and I don't drink because I don't really like it.  I dislike the taste of alcohol, and while I do enjoy getting buzzed once in awhile, I don't like being drunk.  There are many other better, safer drugs (read: cannabis) to do that alcohol.   -- Posted by txstudd3 at 10:24 am on Oct. 8, 2008 religion? not a fan of being hungover? health? -- Posted by cha chi at 12:39 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Quote: from PennyandMe at 8:45 am on Jan. 9, 2008 What are some reasons for MEN not to drink in college??? Could it be a bad experience with alcohol? Not all men like to drink. Some think that school is important and not just a time to party and move out of mommy and daddys house. Some actually want an education and care about their future. And others dont. There is a way to balance your "social" and your "schoo" life, some just do it better than others, or reall are just not into drinking, for numerous reasons im sure.
