[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college sophmore rarely drinks.  She has been to some parties where she will sip a cocktail or two but that's about it.  She does clubs where she makes friendships that don't involve drinking -- when those clubs have parties, there is often alcohol, but it's not a big deal that she isn't consuming or is barely consuming.

She also likes in a dorm that hosts a lot of events themselves that do not involve alcohol -- trivia night, movie night, game night, cookie tasting, etc.  So that helps as well, although she hasnt' really made as many friends through her dorm as we had both thought she would.

I also have a nephew who is a sophomore and doesn't drink and is at a huge party school.  He ended up joining group for our religion at his school and has found a group of people that are not teetotalers, but aren't big drinkers and don't care that he doesn't drink at all.  They do a lot of outdoor events and service projects and just generally hang out.

I have a HS kid that doesn't drink at all -- he and his friends play video games and watch movies and go bike riding and things like that.  It does make looking at colleges a little tricky, as you want someplace that has a diversity of social experiences.    [/quote]
