the college drinkers thread

This thread is for us college students battling the sweet calls of vodka, tequila, jagerbombs, jack daniels, hunch punch, bud lite, miller lite, wine, heineken, red stripe, keg stands, bloody marys, and all that great booze makes college..well college.

Me personally, Ive managed to keep it down to once a week, and only a few drinks at that. Even that was hard.

vent, whine, congratulate, and discuss.

good god, i miss college (okay, i'm leaving now).

I'm a lightweight and I don't like to get insanely drunk, so I tend to only keep it to 3-4 drinks MAX. I don't drink very often, but when I do it's when I go to visit my bf at another school. I go to Georgetown, which is a catholic school, and it's very, very strict when it comes to underage drinking. I've already gotten written up once and two more times will get me suspended (along with the heavy fines I'll have to pay and the work sanctions I'd have to do after the second write up).

However,, I still love my Irish car bombs.  I can drink that stuff any night of the week (not that I do).

Can I just say vodka and diet squirt costs me only like one meal for about 6 shots,  enough to have some fun at parties and not feel all guilty!!! I highly reccomend. Not having fun is not really worth being on a diet to me...but that's jut me...

dearymetalsinks, I totally understand. Im like..im going to graduate soon, so I have to make the best of it right! I have my whole life to dedicate to being healthy.

Im going to have to start trying vodka and diet drinks. I love beer so much I have yet to try vodka and diet coke. Does that taste allright?

Oh my goodness yes. Love my DC and vodka.

  Unfortunately I recently gave up diet sodas and artificial sweeteners, so now I am learning how to take my shots straight...all the time...from the beginning of the night. I really need to invest in some club soda or figure out a legit drink option.

 I am so whack- I whip out my little zebra flask at bars/ frats. I am so that girl in the corner of the room.

I agree though. I feel like this is our only chance to experience college. Its not going to happen again. Is alcohol necessary?? Absolutely not. But does it make parties, etc so much better.

YES.

I usually just like vodka striaght and then maybe have some water  :/ The mixtures are usually too sweet, though I do enjoy cranberry juice and vodka and if you get lite cranberry juice I think that would be another alternative haha. 

well....today is friday, my homegirl's brother is coming into town...

will power, vodka, and DC here I come LOL

Vodka shots w/ super strong crystal light for me. I'm a lightweight as well, so its not the calories of alcohol / mixer / chaser that ruins my diet........

its the me being drunk with no inhibitions and pigging out like a monster.

Guess there's really no way around it, its just me messed up mentally (food obsession)

Aww, hell.  I graduated from my college classes in October but I am drionking now.

I go for my vodka straight or with some form of chaser.  Tonight it's cranberry and raspberry juice nd I'm starting to get that drunken "I must squint at everything around me to feel sane" type of drunk
And I lost my train of thought.

So I ended up drinking 4 beers, a shot and vodka+ sprite. Yeah.
Cellulite, dont make  yourself type whilst drinking! I hate doing that. I hate texting too lol

Jesus, I keep stumbling on drunken posts from that night that I honestly don't remember.

I love cutting as many cals as possible, so I have recently given up Bud light for mic ultra.  Its 10 less cals per beer.

I drink like 6 max in a night, so thats like 60 cals Im saving.

 And yes, since Ive started counting, Im down to drinking one night a week. (which I was only drinking 3 nights tops) and I work my entire meal plan for that night I plan to go out, so that after all my eating, I can drink 6 beers and still be under my goal for the day.

 All the planning is time consuming but worth it, and I can still enjoy the brew here and there :)

Rolling Rock Green Light is fantastic as a beer (and I am one girl who LOVES a good beer. ) 83 cals, 2.6 carbs a bottle, and from what I've heard it tastes better than Michelob light.
When I go on my low carb plateau breakers, I stick to vodka, or some other type of non carby alcohol. Usually a cup or two of that and Coke zero makes me feel quite nice, and it takes a bit to get me drunk.

allright last night i drank sensibly. I had one amstel light, then 2 vodka w/ DC. Then I danced all night. Suceess!

drink it stright. get the job done. =D

thats how i do it.

but i have given it up untill spring break, gettin that swimsuit bod. or trying....

You know, most of the time I'm fine.  No craving for a drink what-so-ever, the only thing that remotely resembles an alcoholic thought is when I wonder where my kitties are (named Whiskey and Vodka).. There's shot glasses and vodka in the bedroom completely untouched by me..

And yet when I look at the materials for my wedding invitations I want to down every last bottle of alcohol I've got.
