Hi there,
Remember to not do something you are uncomfortable with. If you prefer not to drink and you find yourself amongst individuals who pressure you into consuming alcohol, leave their company immediately.
You will find that numerous people at university don't drink due to various reasons so you won't be the only one. Furthermore, although drinking might play a crucial role in one's university experience, it has many negative effects so it is usually better to stay away from it. Plus you will save money.
Lastly, all universities organize many social events and activities that don't involve drinking, so don't worry, there will be many opportunities to socialize and meet different people in various circumstances.
I hope I managed to help!
Best of luck,
Melanie
