<p>haha, glorious, I'm actually really sober/bored right now, hence the CC addiction</p>
<p>hahahaha me 2</p>
<p>share more of ur alcoholic revelation knowledge lolI</p>
<p>oh man, i hate rap and hip hop with a passion. If thats all they play at parties I honestly don't think I would be able to stand it. It actually irritates me coming through the speakers to a point where I can't tune it out.</p>
<p>Yea, I hate rap but when I'm drunk it's fun.</p>
<p>lol, I'm not really an alcoholic, but I can answer questions you guys have on the social scene/Cornell in general if you'd like.</p>
<p>do parties.people at parties ever get out of control..or is it casual social drinking</p>
<p>The parties themselves don't really get too out of hand. Sometimes they'll be extremely packed and lines outside the house will form, but nothing inside really gets out of hand. It can be uncomfortable when parties get really packed, though. People sometimes get out of control. You've always got token kid who started drinking 4 days ago and ends up getting taken away in an ambulance because he's a tool. Other than that, my impression is that that parties are generally in control. The people generally don't get too out of hand (like projectile vomit style). My friend threw up at a party and some brothers made her leave (they drove her home). The drinking is generally social drinking and the parties, though often packed, are not out of control.</p>
<p>You're not alone - I don't drink. I think it's quite possible to have fun, be cool, and not drink; I don't consider myself "uncool" in high school though many of my friends drink and they respect that I don't drink. I am sure you will make a lot of friends who don't drink who you can hang out with on teh weekends. I have a group of friends who do throw non-alcholic "dinner clubs" (get-togethers), and they come from all ranges of popularity - it's pretty fun. And also, bear in mind that you don't have to go to parties.. there are other (non-alcholic) ways to have fun too, I bet. Though in Ithaca it's hard to tell, haha going out to dinner and stuff probably gets expensive and boring after a while, though Taste of Thai is quite possible the most amazing Thai restaurant I've ever been to</p>
<p>does it give you "Thaiarrea"</p>
<p>yes, i made that up, props to me.</p>
<p>fjchowdhury, i don't drink anymore either. i just hate how everyone knows that they can get laid if a girl is drunk. and i don't want that girl to be me. so i try to stay away from any alcohol or drugs that incapacitate me in anyway.</p>
<p>so cornell being the hardest to graduate from is becuase most people are drinking all the time and suffer from hangovers? i mean how do u have so much time to party when u need to focus on school? how do u balance i would think it be hard to recover from?</p>
<p>lol, are you joking? </p>
<p>You don't get a hangover every time you drink. If you have a bottle of water before bed and didn't consume copious amounts of booze, you should be fine the next day. I work at a camp in the summer and have to wake up at 7AM after a night of drinking, it's fine if you moderate yourself. I take a night off if I have way too much work, but if you manage your time you're fine. It's healthy to have a balance between socializing and working.</p>
<p>what's ur major HiImAnAlcholic?</p>
<p>ILR, but I have friends who are engineers or premed who are right there with me at parties. Drinking on the weekend isn't really detrimental to one's academics. Drinking every day, however, is another story.</p>
<p>thats ironic i'll be in ILR next year lol but minus the drinking</p>
<p>I don't really see how it's ironic. You can still party if you don't drink...and who knows, maybe you'll end up giving in. Either way, it's a good time.</p>
<p>Do you say that because of peer pressure? I really can't stand the taste...I hope I don't start drinking just to fit in.</p>
<p>I don't know, I didn't start in college. </p>
<p>Maybe it's peer pressure. I know I don't pressure non-drinkers into drinking. It's probably more because of the abundance of drunk people and free booze.</p>
<p>exigent.. u can make mixed drinks that dont taste like alcohol :) If you're a social person you can still go to parties though without drinking I would assume. I have a question though.. do a lot of people smoke? :)</p>
<p>A lot of girls in my house smoke. It's pretty popular; you shouldn't have trouble finding a group to smoke with.</p>
<p>This thread is pretty amusing. A bunch of kids who have never drank before asking about drinking. To all you kids who don't drink: you should really start. I'm not saying go out and get completely plastered, and don't let people pressure you into drinking more than you want. Drinking is part of the whole college experience.</p>
