Welcome to the University of Durham forum: where prospective and current students can discuss everything from the differences between colleges to the nightlife, an abundance of Rahs to the Stockton campus.

lots.
BTW I'm drunk at the moment, due to £ a pint night locally. This is bad since I have work at 8:30AM.
I'd probably drink a bottle of wine at formal on tues/thurs, then a few pints after so I'm good for clubbing, plus anything else, like if I go out any other days. I probably drink twice my recommended allowance, although I know people who drink nothing and never have done for no religious reason, and don't get any stick about it. If you want to drink, fine, if you don't, fine. People might ask you why you drink so much/little, but other than that, I really don't think you'll have any comment made, outside, perhaps, the first few weeks.
Having said this, it remains to be seen how much I drink next year, since I won't be attending formals regularly, or living very, very close to the college bar.
EDIT: The student drink in Durham is probably wine, due to formals, or vodka, in people's rooms, or beer in the pub. Pretty much the same as anywhere. -

BTW - If you're planning on going to Klute at all - you'll need more - you have to be drunk, or a wee bit mental to go sober(Original post by Juxtapiped)
I drink, just not excessively; a couple of pints, maybe 3, is enough for me on a night-out.
I must be a bit of an old fogie with my John Smiths and Strongbow. -

well im sam as dobbs really i rarely drink socially unless its one glass of wine or something - in a pub id more likely get coke than beer because frankly beer is ming ding. If im going out however i probably get through about 10 units of vodka withouttoo much trouble.

I knew it wouldnt be long before you posted on this thread.(Original post by morals_officer)
My record for a night is 2 bottles of wine, a few pints and some shots. Christ, the next morning hurt. On average, I'd say I have 2-3 pints a day, more on fridays/formals/events though. It's all up to you though.

That was the excellent night that I managed to steal a pair of trousers from the room of a girl on the landing below me, and wake up with NO memory of said actions!(Original post by Evil_Genius)
You should have gotten the horse drunk, too, before trying to take advantage of her

If you were there anyway, why not steal some pants?(Original post by morals_officer)

Really, though, you may start thinking of budgeting if you have to steal clothing
that will sound REALLY bad to the vast majority of the freshers
