do you drink?

I'm pretty surprised by most of the answers here. I'm from a ski resort so maybe people just party there more than other places but my school mates and I have all been drinking a couple times a week since freshman year in highschool. We're all in college now so it's gotten a little more aggressive and a good bit of drug use too... It's all still a very social thing and all of us are doing well in school and with our relationships. There's got to be other people here that are in the same boat... ?

I think it has to do with the United States (speaking from only experience and for the U.S.) and its common social opinion of how alcohol is basically evil (I will admit to using loaded language here), as well as the draconian laws against alcohol. I also think the whole partying association is a big turn off for people.
