So I finally discovered why college kids get drink to get drunk.

I have never drank/smoked/did drugs in my life, it was never appealing to me. However the other night I went and hung out with some kids who were drinking, which I don't normally do. The only other time was some high school kids, I knew they drank and did drugs because they hated themselves. In fact the reason I would go is because every single time there was a gathering of 7+ people, at least one of them, usually a guy, would end up crying. So the fun of laughing at that person for months was the reason for attending. (Also I would usually have a friend there who also didn't drink.)

So I got invited to go with a friend of mine to this small party, the boy she liked was there and I had been around him sober he seemed like an ok guy. Neither her nor I drink, and he knows this. Well it turns out, he was lame as hell. All he, and everyone else there would talk about, is the other times they would drink. Not even funny things that happened while drinking, just how drunk they got one night. Thats all the funny stories they had, and they weren't funny, or interesting. So it turns out these kids (they are 20, I am 18) all drink, because they are unfunny and uninteresting. They really had NO good stories, and the more they drank, the less they understood my jokes, which ended up just annoying me. In fact I am sure that they get drunk enough so that they don't really remember the night before, but vaguely remember laughing at some point, so they think that constitutes a good time, and thats the only reason they continue drinking. SOOO after about an hour of this crap my friend and I left and went and hung out with sober, funny, and interesting people.

I am going to hate average college kids just as much as I hated average high school kids. If you have kids of this age, teach them to have a personality, as it turns out THAT is what keeps kids from drinking and drugging.

EDIT: By the way the title is a joke.

wow do i feel old now, dude you are 18, and going to college, welcome to 2007, thats what kids do your age, we all did, and you may someday down the road still, you have time still. the kids your age today live for alcohol and drugs, most come from broken homes and have so many bad times in their head thats how they deal with it. specially here in florida, this state is is home for probably 80% drunks and drug users. why do think the state has 18 million liquor stores. get used to seeing, specially at school, thats all the college students want to do. just stick with the friends you have that dont do it and you'll be all set.
 
Ive been around it for quite a while, just never experienced the motives behind it. My best friend through middle school and 9th grade, in 9th grade, started smoking pot and drinking. Not wanting to get into that I simply said I don't want to hang out anymore and found new friends. He didn't clean up his act and in 12th grade he swerved (drug related) head on into a car each car traveling 40mph. He was in the hospital for 6 months, he killed the other guy. Within a week of him getting home I was at a friends house and he sent him a message asking him if he knew where he could get some pot.

It seems whenever I meet someone I really get along with, (meaning they have an extremely twisted, demented, awful sense of humor, and can laugh at anything without taking it to seriously) they don't drink regularly, even in social settings, if at all.

Dude you are 18... I started drinking when I was 18 1/2 (had my first beer)... but I didn't really "enjoy" it until I was older. Check back in a couple of years.
 
my sister has 5 years on me, i am 30 now, when she was 18 - 19 i was 14- 15 and i hung out with her and her friends alot, some were my friends too, most neighbors of ours, some only had 1 to 3 years on me so i did alot of drinking at a young age, i started going to parties and stuff on the weekends around 14 years old, alot of times, they had their license already and had trucks and there were high school keggers every weekend in the woods and the only way to get there were in trucks. so needless to say, i was always drinking. by the time i turned 21 and could get booze legally, i had no interest. now, i have a beer every few months, ever since i had kids and got married i have no interest in drinking. sometimes i get the urge for one or two, its funny i just left my shop and went to the gas station and got one single bottle of ice house, and now i'm good for months, every now and then i feel like one or two, after that, i'm done. i have many memories of sick nights, head aches in the morning, i just have no urge anymore. i drank myself silly at a young age, i've been there and done that, its old news now and i have more important things in life to worry about now. but i'll get tanked at a nice cook out or wedding, its my reason to splurge!!!!!
 
Wow,
Kyle people drink for more reasons then you can count.
Alcohol is a social lubricant that has been around since the start of time.
Alot of people can drink and not act stupid but not too many your age.
As the years go by "god im sounding old :err-what?: " you will find that some people can drink some cant some dont like what it does to them so they dont.
Alcohol isnt the problem
If you dont like it thats great it comes down to what kind of person you are, and it sounds like you got most of that figgured out.:D
 
Well I drink now to relax, I drank when I was younger to be sociable and to have fun. But that is me.

As the great quote says:

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day." - Frank Sinatra
