<p>hunter, congrats. You’ve learned about moderation.</p>
<p>Too many other college students, however, haven’t. So Friday and Saturday nights spent chasing around members of the opposite sex and binge drinking result in Saturday and Sundays spent lying around sick not being able to study. Even worse, they lead to all-nighters where you work at half your potential, and then come to class too tired to listen or participate.</p>
<p>I spent my freshman and sophomore year staying up late and binge drinking. Sure, I had a great time, but alls I have to show for it now is some laughs, not being able to drink Jack Daniels anymore and lots of B’s that I’m working hard to make up for. Once I learned moderation - drink two or three nights a month only, don’t let yourself get depressed after you get turned down/break up, sleep right - my grades skyrocketed.</p>
