[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was me and I was in the Honors Program at American and loved it. Started drinking in college though. I don't think it's that unusual for a kid to not do that stuff in high school but dabble in college... [/quote]

I was a non-partier who was also in the Honors program at American.  I never felt any pressure to drink.  Once or twice, at parties, I tried a drink that sounded interesting.  If I chose not to drink, it was fine.

Once I went out with friends.  They got drinks, I got ice tea.  A couple of people made good natured jokes about my selection, but most were generally supportive of my selection.  Walking back to the metro, a couple of people threw up.

In general, I just don't like alcohol.  I had already tried it growing up and it had no appeal.  The taste is unpleasant and it gives me a headache.  I certainly have no interest in drinking excessively.  While I can think of countless fun and interesting things to do, making myself sick is not on the list.

Basically, at college, I never felt pressured to drink or stigmatized when I didn't.  Because it wasn't my thing, I generally chose other activities to devote my time to.   There was never enough time to do everything I wanted  anyway.[/quote]
