<p>I think it is about time we take the bull by the horns and start discussing a subject of the utmost importance!</p>
<p>How are parties at Princeton? Are there parties at Princeton? How's the booze? Okey, mainly kiddin' about the booze part. Still how do ppl have fun over there? I suppose there are some kind of parties, but how are they? (a.k.a. music, location, people)</p>
<p>Alos, any dimlighted-woodenchaired-brickwalled-basementplaced-irishy-pub? Where you can listen to slow-classical-soft rock over a pint of beer?? And generally just laugh and talk with good company?</p>
<p>Yeah parties! haha i just realized we can now have what we consider "hotel parties" every night! yeah! OMG OMG I cant wait! Yes for inebriation!</p>
<p>kidding guys...but i was curious, would it be considered extreme for freshmen to have some hard or soft stuff in their rooms? and whats the easiest way to obtain? any considerate local quick-e-marts? lol</p>
<p>There are MAD parties at Princeton. At April hosting, I got wasted BOTH nights. Well it's not like the University of Miami, but you'll hear about "The Street" alot. that's where the nightlife's at.</p>
<p>Supposedly the beer is free, if you go to the right places. Nuff said.</p>
<p>And yeah theres one of those pubs, i forget what its called. Not being 21, I've never gone in.</p>
<p>yeah freshman have both soft and hard stuff in their rooms. (personally, i think beer sucks).</p>
<p>i think usually underclassmen get alcohol from upperclassmen. or bring a fake id. yeah they were saying that they don't look very closely at IDs at one of the places.</p>
<p>Yeah but dont a lot of people scorn 'hol? at april hosting, our host gave our group of 8 prefrosh that were chilling one night some jack, but everyone else was afraid to get even buzzed...sigh...cmon guys, youve gota remember, work hard as hell, play hard as heaven</p>
<p>inope, I couldn't have said it better myself!</p>
<p>Anonymous, how can you hate beer? Beer is the ultimate stuff.
Save for beer and wine any other drink is for alcoholics! And princeton has no alcoholics, right? </p>
<p>Revan rooting for beer!</p>
<p>And ivy that would be the sweetest thing ever! Our own irish pub at Princeton! We should find a name for it though... </p>
<p>"The drunken Oxen"
"Trafalgar" (in honour of the best irishy pub in my home-town)
even better:
"The drunken Tigers"
"Club Dark" or "Dark Pub"
"Ivan" (IVyboy + re*VAN*) though this would sound to Russian Vodka orientated. Then again Russian Vodka is good.Not as good as beer but good. Revan rooting for Russian Vodka.</p>
<p>Any more suggestions regarding our Very own pub at Princeton?
"The dimlighted-woodenchaired-brickwalled-basementplaced-irishy-pub where you can listen to slow-classical-soft rock over a pint of beer"</p>
<p>hmm so I'm guessing a lot of 09ers are gonna be up for some beruit, kings cup, and more when we head up to jersey? </p>
<p>Also, I know there's some people viewing this thread who havent drank...live a little, dont worry about being 21, when u hit pton, YOURE FREE!</p>
<p>Now, to flip positions and defend the sober:</p>
<p>Drinking too much is fking stupid. You lose friends, the other sex's respect for you, and brain cells. Never drink past your grey limit. That is to say, for your first few times, drink with friends, start with 5 drinks or so, work up a few every time. The grey limit will hit you when you start falling over often and the next day you feel forgetful about last nite...never drink that much again, or else you WILL get wasted. For me at 6-2 180, my limit is around 9. Seriously, the worst is when a friend tries, and is like wow this is cool im fine, then 3 hours later theyre outside puking their guts out.</p>
<p>Inopa, you make some good points!
We should go for a beer (or two, or more) sometimes. You say your grey limit is at 9 drinks? What kind of drinks? </p>
<p>But when me asking 'bout parties and drinks I is not intending to get drunk.
I'm talking bout 2-3 Beers (Romanian standards - 0.5liters, ~5% alcohol) a night. Me has no intention of geting drunk, upseting friends and then not having the slightest ideea of what I have done. That is useless and senseless. </p>
<p>Chichi, you have to introduce me to the world of cocktails and mixes. I think the only cocktail I ever drank is Pina colada!</p>
<p>Chichi you ask if you're an alcoholic. Dunno, but the stuff you drink doesn't qualify or disqualify you from being an alcoholic. As long as you don't lock yourself in your room and get wasted all by yourself you cannot be an alcoholic. As long as you get wasted with one ore more persons it's just called "Over-socializing" </p>
<p>That being cleared, let the booz come to me!</p>
<p>P.S. Still looking forward to any input on our very own "dimlighted-woodenchaired-brickwalled-basementplaced-irishy-pub where you can listen to slow-classical-soft rock over a pint of beer"</p>
<p>revan, not to crush your dreams or anything... :| ... but if you're not 21, you really CAN'T get in any bar/pub/ drinking place etc... sorry, that's what i know (gooood, i hope i'm wrong, or else i'll be dying to get back home :D )... so i guess we'll have to decorate our rooms accordingly with high wooden chairs and darts boards, old beer posters and the likes...</p>
<p>and about over-drinking, here's my own "helps nobody and little children i'm a moron don't believe me":</p>
<p>i find getting drunk by yourself and in the privacy of your cozy room a luxury, and a very boheme practice: makes me think of Steppenwolf by h.hesse :rolleyes: ... alcoholism is about not being able to stop. It's a completely different story. You can get drunk by yourself once a year, if you want, so it has nothing to do with being addicted.</p>
<p>PLUS, i hate alcohol as a mean of getting courage and socializing better (i reckon i'll have some problems with that in the US, where everybody's so... ). And if you're drinking on your own there sure ain't no trace of hypocrisy and "oh look at me i can swallow 10 liters of beer!!!"</p>
<p>and yes, beer usually sucks bigtime, except summer when it's oh so refreshing. Then again dark beer is awesome, and i'm sure we'll find some really tasty brands next year :rolleyes:. But vodka (flavoured absolut OR dirt-cheap-with-traces-of-methyl-and-horrible-hangover :D ) and dark rum and whiskey... well, they rule... :D</p>
<p>No beer fans? Uff... okey then, Vodka it will be....
Alcohola!!! For the connaisseurs!!!... <em>Winks to Pav</em></p>
<p>....alcohola.....maaaan, i'm gonna be counting moons again with the sister of a Brown who outdrinks me.... And by the way, since when do i Tango? I can't Tango! ... or was that a Valse? ......Don't ask</p>
<p>P.S. Well, from a certain angle there would be only one moon, but it would spin really fast.</p>
<p>Noooooooooo. Beers it is...dark beers RULE - Guiness, Bass Ale, NewCastle, Killians ROCK
well, at 18 ... its like beggars arent choosers, so if vodka is the only choice, then vodka it is...</p>
