How often do you/did you drink in school?

meowmeow

The favorite drink post piqued my interest. Now I am curious as to how often people drank/went to bars/parties, etc. while they were in school.

In past years (i'm in the 5th year now) I would go out most weekends, but this yeah I've been drinking 4-5 nights a week. I guess that's what happens when you don't have studio.

I never drank too often, but in third year for a couple for a couple of quarters I brought a 40 with me every night to studio. had a good time and enjoyed my work. but I think other than that I went out 2 times a week. usually getting drunk one night a week. I miss college damnit.

it was once a week in first year...trying to have fun with new school friends...
by second year...just whenever there was an occasion...even then i didn't really drink to get ultra drunk...
there was a gradual switch to getting stoned...4th and 5th year, i was getting stoned more often...

the last semester in europe...i went nuts with both...

I used to pour myself beers into plastic mugs during studio freshman year..when the professor was lecturing.

was drunk in front of the whole student body during bridge break

i didn't go out much...but i would often drink during class. always kept a bottle of whiskey or rum at my desk. i had one evening class in particular that i would always stroll into with a mug full of jack'n'coke...at the end of the semester the instructor actually admitted that i was one of the better and more insightful students in class

in fact, every class that i recieved a good grade in (i.e., an "A" or an "A-") involved an abundance of inebriated conversations with my professors. i sometimes worried that i'd been drinking too much...but i couldn't argue with the results.

drinking while in the studio is great, just watch out for the band saw or the electric sander after you've had more than 2....

First year - made a huge effort to go out at least once a week
Second year - once every week or two, started having a beer or two in studio
Third year - going out took too much from studio time, started drinking regularly in the studio (many of us just kept a fridge stocked with coffee creamer and beer - mmmm!)
Fourth year - not much drinking, damn portfolio....until last quarter in Italy - woohoo!! Got drunk as often as possible. God I love the no hangover wine!

Grad school - the more 'mellow' drinking (no stumbling home in LA).

I was a work hard play hard type. went out 2 to 3 times a week, did 1 to 2 all-nighters a week.

First year, not too much, maybe once a week.

After that, quite a bit more. Mostly while I was working though. There was a memorable night building final models second year while sharing a bottle of Popov with my studio, and many more nights when we had beer, girly drinks, or wine in studio, and many reviews that ended in margaritas.

I dont know how you drink and work at the same time... It just zaps my willpower. But im in college at one of the most boring schools on the planet and i still manage to go out at least once a week.

early on i didn't drink as much, but later on i started to drink more. by my fifth year we'd go out a few nights a week, if only for last call at 'our bar' where we'd drink $2.50 24oz glasses of Old Style. and i'd say the first week of every semester was a pretty solid drunkfest...i did notice that the amount of alcohol consumed tended to me much more controlled the older i got.
