Poll on College behavior: Do any other college students choose to NOT drink?

Or, if you aren't in college but you used to be, did you choose not to drink?





I'm a sophomore in college and it really seems like 95% of the student body here all love to get wasted on the weekends. I was just looking around at some photo albums on Facebook and nearly every single picture has someone with a beer in their hands.





I don't really care if people drink, but I was just curious if there was anyone like me out there who chooses not to drink. I just think that I can have a good time without the influence of alcohol. I don't smoke or have sex either. I hate the way some people think I'm weird because I don't live life like a "normal college kid" would. Sorry if not drinking, smoking, doing drugs, and all that makes me weird.





Anyone else feel the same?

I'm on my 3rd semester in college. I am a straight A student and I can honestly say that if I were doing the partying that my friends are I'd be dropped out by now. I don't mind kicking back with a few cold drinks once in a while when there's no midterms, no assignments due, when I can afford to have a fun time but for the most part, I won't do it.





I choose not to drink because I saw what happened to my brother in college. Too much partying, too much sex with random girls and now he's a father with only half a college education. He's doing good for himself but I do not want to be a repeat of that.





I can't say I don't have sex. I have been with my boyfriend for over 2 years and we live together but I don't smoke, I don't sleep around and I don't do drugs.





I have friends always on my butt saying I'm not fun...well I had fun back in high school. College is my grown up time to get my life going.
Reply:No I don't drink, I can't even if I wanted too. I'm underage. The pressure of drinking is tough but I have to to stay true to myself and not drink.
Reply:nope I drank
Reply:I'm with you. I don't drink or smoke either. I pretty much keep to myself.
Reply:I know. When I get to college, I'm not doing any of that because you don't need them to have a fun time. They will just ruin your college years.
Reply:I didn't drink...didn't interest me then, doesn't interest me now. I had to work through college and work at college; i didn't get the free parental ride like most of them did.





It seems like that's all college is about anymore. Sad to think this is the future of our country!
Reply:Yes, there are some. When I was in college, I had a friend that did not drink. But as far me, I drank a good amount in college.
Reply:I know how you feel. But yeah never was much of a drinker.
