[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you go to a party. You hold a drink. No one knows you're not drinking. No one knows what's in the cup. Lots of ways to handle this responsibly, enjoy college life and have fun.

[/quote]oh no. They push it. They ask. They look inside your cup. You are found out and labeled.  It’s a real problem for the non-drinker. Plus, it’s not enjoyable to stand around while others are getting smashe

I have a non drinker who I really am certain will stay a non drinker and the issue fir him in looking at schools is that even going to those kind of sloppy college parties and holding a solo cup won’t be his thing so he’s really trying to figure out which schools will have other social opportunities. He really likes hiking o one thing we’ve been looking at are schools that have robust outdoors clubs. I was the light drinker in college that was okay with going to the parties, having one beer and hanging out. It wasn’t really my scene but I kind of adjusted myself to fit for better or worse. Some kids will do that. My DS is not like that also for better or worse. [/quote]

Hiking takes place during the day - isn’t most drinking at parties at night? I suspect you can find a hiking/outdoor club at most colleges, but I’d look for schools that have evening entertainment (comedy shows, concerts, restaurants nearby to walk to) as alternatives to heavy drinking parties.
