i do, but not often. It costs too much(even though i'm only 145lbs i can drink a LOT) my grandfather was an alcoholic(so i have to watch myself) although it has improved my grades. i know that may seem backwards, but i usually get burned out about half way through the semester, stop doing my homework and just become generally apathetic(which is what happened last semester) but i started drinking every few weekends this semester and my grades are all great, and i'm still doing all of my homework every night. I figure it just let me relieve stress and it let me relax, and besides the cost factor, i never get hungover, and i never did stupid things(my friends say i'm exactly the same drunk as i am sober) so i have no reason not to really.
oh, beer is nasty i tend to start on rum and coke(or shots of rum) and then after a bit move to vodka or whiskey.
