What should I do if I feel pressured into drinking at college?
A lot of students don't drink. Just knowing that a lot of students don't drink makes it so you don't need to feel pressure to drink. Anybody who's going to force you to drink, or not be your friend because you won't drink with them, is a stupid drunk. Do you really need to hang out with a stupid drunk? That's why you need to have options when you go to school. I'm talking about social options - the organizations, the activities, the things where you can meet other people who do things that are similar to you. You can be sober and you can have an amazing experience. If someone is really pressuring you and they won't take no for an answer, you can just hold the drink. You don't have to drink it. You can take the drink and empty it and put something else in the drink. Or, if it's a matter of holding something, you can hold a small animal, like a ferret, and then you can't hold a beer.
