I'm a 2nd year college student!. I don't drink/smoke!. I have always been a bit of a homebody!. I just stay at home or go out with my boyfriend who dosent drink at all either!. we find other ways to have fun!.!.!.minus the booze and weed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Easily!. I didn't drink or smoke at college either!. People aren't as pushy as they used to be about others who don't drink - and I'm sure you can find fellow non-drinkers to hang with if you need to!.
If you get really pressured at parties or whatever, take along your own bottle of something filled with water, then keep it to yourself and drink from it all night!. Or "just say no"!. I used to say I didn't drink 'cos I wanted to make sure I could perform to my best sexually - which became a talking point!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've never smoked, but it has never been a problem for me!. You attract friends that smoke or some that don't!. I used to drink and go to the bar with friends a lot, but two months ago a great tragedy befell me having to do with alcohol and since I haven't had any urge to drink at all!. A lot of my friends were upset that I didn't go out and drink anymore, but I told them that they had to understand that I was done with that part of my life!. I still go to the bar and socialize with them, but I don't drink!.
I don't know if this helps, but don't worry, I'm sure you will be able to lead a normal college experience even if you don't smoke or drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's like people who never/and will never have sex!. Take a lot of effort but once you've tried it, it's hard to stop!. Don't mean that you should take drugs all the time!. Drug is not a good thing for people who takes it on daily basic!. It's so bad for you!. But I have nothing against taking it once in a while!. C'mon you only have one life!. And alcohol, well it's hard since you're always surrounded by it at college!. I don't know how they do but again you can't miss and crave for something you never tried!.
I respect a lot people that don't take anything!. It a personal choice!. But you can moderate!. I mean you don't need to be passed out drunk!. Just have a beer with friends or have a glass of wine for dinner is fine!. I like to party so it's kinda hard not to drink lol!. But I have moderation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i don't know!. i never hung around with those types in college!. college is the time to try different things!. is there some reason you WILL NOT at least try alcohol!. it may be to your advantage to at least have a knowledge of alcohol and its affects so that society doesn't label you as a weirdo!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
As long as you don't look/talk down at other people for drinking or smoking, you'll be fine!. If you don't like to be around people under the influence, you'll have to work a little harder to meet people!. I partake, but I hang with many people who don't!. I don't judge them, they don't judge me, everyone's happy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I don't know about you're school, but at mine we actually have a regular crowd of kids that go to the parties but don't drink/smoke and they have a good time!. If you have some buddies in the same position as you you can have fun laughing at the drunk people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Celebrate your individuality because you're not like everyone else!. Don't worry about it, it's not a big deal!. You talk about "surviving" it like it's the plague or something!. Find other ways to have fun and don't listen to them if they try to make fun of you or pressure you into it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Find others who feel the same way you do, and hang out together!. Are you religious!? Find a youth group that has similar values!. Even if you aren't necessarily religious, you can still make friends!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Seek out others who don't drink or smoke!. There isn't any law saying you have to drink and smoke, it's just a personal choice!.
Be proud of who you are!. If you don't drink/smoke, you'll be much healthier, and will have better recall!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
