[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The dad has the right idea. You need to know your limit before you go to college. [/quote]

No.   College kids who enjoy partying and drinking don’t care what their supposed limit is.  There will be the fraternity parties where no student is  saying “no thanks, I’ve reached my limit, something my dad taught me”.    And anyone thinking their “athlete” son is so health conscious that they don’t drink doesn’t know anything.   Biggest drinkers on campus are students who play hockey, football, lacrosse, basketball, baseball.  The stereotypes are not far off.  [/quote]

I disagree with this. I faked drinking a lot more than I did because I didn’t want to lose control. I saw plenty of people do this and it was a lesson for sure. I nursed many drinks and was very in tune to keep any drink covered by my wrist.

So I wouldn’t say I’ve reached my limit to people but I faked enough while staying in full control and observant.

The only time I would drink hard was when I was with close friends at a house. [/quote]

Fake drinking like you’re 14 years old.   Yeah that isn’t a thing in college.   Don’t drink if you don’t want to drink.

The most drinking happens in fraternities and about 35% of college students  have binged drank.

Getting black out drunk is not uncommon.  They did a study at Duke and found 50% of students had at least one black out drunk incident in the past year.   Again fraternities have the highest rates of binge drinking and black out incidents.

These are facts and they do differ between schools but to assume your child will be the non drinker is hopeful thinking.   [/quote]
