I personally haven't been drinking for at least 2 years now (I used to when I was like 14-16), however, out of curiosity, have any of you non-drinkers considered perhaps drinking on some night outs and when you start to meet new people at freshers as more of a sociable purpose? I'm starting to think that I probably will begin drinking when I do go out and go to bars/clubs, I just wont be doing it excessively. Either way, it can't be too bad and if you are not one who enjoys to drink then I completely understand and it's certainly a very sensible thing to choose not to do.

Good luck guys!
Will probably give into peer pressure abit on freshers week, just to calm the nerves haha. But even then probably one bottle of wkd would be my limit!
really hope freshers week won't be boring for us :') i mean i obviously still want to go out (sometimes) but, what actually is there to do?
theres a girl i know, second year student, who never drinks (apart from the odd champagne glass at a formal event). she has a really nice group of friends still, and goes to the pub all the time but instead of ordering a beer or whatnot she orders a diet coke etc..
there are other events apart from drinking too... for example when i went down to plymouth (boyfriend is student there), we were invited to singstar parties. granted people did drink a little bit (its really funny trying to sing whilst under the influence of alcohol! your voice goes all wavey), but it was mostly about the competition of singing!
there are plenty of socials that can be done without the drink

makes me feel a little bit better i just keep constantly hearing about how it's made to be about drinking and getting 'smashed' lool

not going to lie, alot of people do get "smashed". personally, i have never seen the point of it... whats the point in having a "great night out" if you arent going to remember it?! ive only been drunk twice, first time i couldnt remember half the stuff, and to be honest thats annoying as it was a great party haha. second time i kept rambling and telling people secrets... that was interesting...
i think its really a matter of personal interest. one party i went to i didnt get drunk, and all the drunk people didnt really care ahah, they were happy to dance around me acting all drunk! its actually quite funny to watch.
being hyper is better anyway :P . from the perspective of someone who has got both drunk, hyper and nothing at all... hyperness is by far the way to go in my perspective, you FEEL drunk without the side effects ahah
I'm a non-drinker too! absolutely hate the taste of it; I'll stick to j2os or shloer That's the part of freshers I'm not particularly looking forward to; hopefully my uni will be nice and accommodate non-drinkers so we can make friends too!

I've never drunk alcohol before, so we'll see, I suppose. I don't intend to, tbh. I won't close the option absolutely because it's simply a choice I've made rather than something religious or whatever, but yeah.
