<p>They could well decide that they want a lot of students who hope to "work hard/play hard", and are honest about it. (Actually, more than a few colleges have decided just that.) It's called "holistic admissions" - they include your grades, degree of difficulty, SATs, ECs, legacy status, sports, musical instrument, letters of recommendation, breed of dog, zip code, geography, citizenship, income, parental education, importance of GC, criminal background, religion (in some places), skin color, ethnicity, # of hours worked per week, summer vacations. Just one more piece of information they can add to the hopper - IF THEY CHOOSE TO. If not, they just send a message that they are interested.</p>
<p>What paranoia would lead you to believe that your two drinks would result in your being blackballed? Alternatively, if before you took the two drinks, you knew that colleges were going to ask, would it have changed your behavior? (Answer honestly, if you choose.)</p>
