This is awesome, thanks for writing this post!! Over the years, ALL of my friends have started drinking, and it by junior year, it became way less socially acceptable since people started turning 21. From my own experience, these are great tips, and it’s nice to know other people don’t drink and are social too!

p.s. If anyone is considering studying abroad in England, be aware of the UK’s pub culture! It is practically impossible to socialize without hitting a pub (unlike the US where people go to coffeehouses and such just to hang).

I’m a senior in college and style get teasing comments and nasty comments because I don’t like to party! I do drink, but I hate getting drunk. Mostly I have a drink with dinner or a couple during girls’ night in. But its mostly about who you surround yourself with. My real friends don’t care that I don’t like to drink. Its only when I’m out around others that it really affects me.

I like the message you’re sending here, except for the last tip. I think that’s a little mean.

Great advice! I always have a “buffer drink” in my hands and my close friends all know I dont drink but I can get so wild at parties the ppl who don’t know me think Im completly wasted. I just drink coke or water the whole time and I usually end up getting invited to more parties later cuz you can get loose sans alcohol. So thanks for delivering that msg CF!

The most I’ll really have on a night out is 2 glasses of wine (mostly I will just drink 1 Crabbies Ginger Beer at 4%). I don’t like the feeling of being drunk and out of control. I hate not being able to walk totally normally. I am a social drinker but I never ever get drunk because I just hate it so much. I never get hangovers because there isn’t enough alcohol in my system for it.

I love going to parties and bars and I love being sober!

Ah, I love this! CollegeFashion.net is all about standing out in a crowd by the way we carry ourselves (like the way we dress), and I love this post. It promotes the fact that the CROWD drinks and classy girls don’t have to. :)

I do drink, but i don’t like to over-do it i.e get drunk / wasted…… every few months is ok, but not every couple of nights….

Thanks CF – I think this is really good for girls to hear, especially incoming freshmen like me. Drinking can get you into so many different awful situations, plus its way more fun to be the only one with a clear head :)
