<p>Good point above. Natty Light doesn't contain meth, that would react poorly with the urine. :P Better than beast, I guess. Oh well, after #3 you don't notice anymore anyway...</p>
<p>Chuy- </p>
<p>I would have to agree. Then again, molten lava is better than beast lol.</p>

<p>Are you serious? What type of lame-o sits quietly at parties and sips drinks? Learn to enjoy alcohol, and stop being terrible.

<p>Alcohol is not for everyone and that's something you need to accept. I said that b/c the OP's daughter can still be a part of the party, without endangering her morals. Plenty of people do that, and there is nothing wrong with it. I never said anything about "sitting quietly" either.</p>
<p>Now I myself could be considered an alcoholic by many, so don't preach to me that I need to learn to enjoy alcohol... b/c I guarantee I "enjoy" alcohol in greater quantities and more frequently than you do.</p>
<p>If/when the campus social life revolves around an addictive item, it becomes rather difficult to avoid it. Your social life most likely will not end simply because you won't drink alcohol (take it from me, I won't drink and I still enjoy myself and meet great people). However, I don't doubt that there are those who will resent you or find you dull because of it. Ignore them. Youve got places to go & people to meet. Besides, I'm certain you don't want to spend all your college years in parties . . . there is a world out there, believe it or not.</p>
<p>Join a club and follow a passion (i.e., academic groups pertaining to your major). Your outings and interactions with great people and places will certainly be enough to keep you satisfied. It is unfortunate that people interpret college life as a string of parties, rather than an opportunity to do great things.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>And remember: You can always retake a class. You can never relive a party. Words of wisdom brought to you by 7th year seniors. :)</p>
<p>Don't worry, just find some friends that don't booze it up and you'll be fine.</p>

<p>I think it's necessary to have fun and go to parties and such to deal with all the stress college brings. I get my work done, I have a 3.2 gpa, and I still go out and drink on the weekends. It's not a matter of either/or: either you must study alot, or you must party alot. Have you never heard of work hard, play hard? I love partying, getting dressed up and dancing and drinking is FUN. It's not bad or evil or immoral to do. Yes, there are people that do it so much they barely (or don't) scrape by with a 2.0. My ex is one of them, so I know how it goes. But not everyone who parties is a retard who barely misses academic probation. You can still do "great things" without being uptight all the time.</p>

<p>This is specifically what they do.</p>
<p>School I used to go to had one. I wasn't in it, but we had one.</p>

<p>AUlostchick: "Have you never heard of work hard, play hard?"</p>
<p>Now now, I didn't say she could not play and have fun. I merely said that she shouldn't limit her ideas of a social life to partying. That is all. I think you and I have similar points... I also never said she couldn't drink or dress up. Nor did I say that she had to be "uptight." </p>
<p>AUlostchick: "You can still do "great things" without being uptight all the time."</p>
<p>I merely don't want her to view life as a string of parties. You cannot forget, the original problem here is that she seems to feel that parties are the only outlet for her social life. I was trying to tell her that they are not. Parties are a small facet of a bigger and more exciting life. It is not uptight to realize that... </p>
<p>I really don't know what we're arguing about...</p>
<p>drinking isn't always a bad thing. I do the majority of my homework on weekends, and then spend the rest of the week fixing it up and making sure I understand all of it mainly because I like drinking 3-4 nights a week. I want to get all of my work done before Wednesday night because of this. If I didn't do this I would be a procrastinator like all of my friends, but instead I get all my work done, understand the material, and ace the tests.</p>
<p>Honestly, in high school I was a huge procrastinator, and then the instant I got easy access to alcohol and no parents I started doing everything on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Coincidence? I personally don't see it that way.</p>
<p>This is a unique situation, but I do find it interesting. I drink as much as the freshman on my floor do because of it, it's nice.</p>
<p>"The thing is, parties suck if you're the only one not drunk."</p>
<p>What? Who says?</p>
<p>I go to parties where my friends get drunk--I've never even had a sip--and it's a blast! Just being around drunk people is enough of a 'social lubricant' for me.</p>
