depends on your school.

i've been a little hungover at school before...never drank before school.

we used to go to the pub for games lessons instead of "local walking".

i gave one my best economics presentations after a few beers. lol.

You can definately get into trouble for being drunk in school though!

In general it is not appropriate to permit alcohol to be used on school premises, especially when younger children are present.

I've never witnessed anyone get punished for turning up to school drunk, or intending to drink at school. Then again, providing you have a different teacher for every subject/period at school; you might not spend enough time with a teacher for it to be detectable. As they might only see you for an hour, then they might just write it off as you being particularly hyper that day.

Having said that, there are usually serious sanctions if you're caught with alcohol on you- which is sometimes easier to prove. On the day the year elevens leave, they often throw flour at other students and play generic pranks. To get around it, the teachers made them open out their lockers to see if they had anything in there but they soon realised that if the year elevens had friends in younger years they could just keep it in their lockers. So they checked all of our lockers too while we were in lessons, and one of the girls in my year had brought in some vodka she was going to take to a party that night. She was suspended for at least a week, and that was a more lenient punishment they gave her after her friends took part of the blame.

It really isn't worth it- some of my old friends got drunk on the last day of term, but I just don't think there's any point. It would be the holidays in a few hours anyway, and they could have plenty of time to do it then.

(I may be biased though- I don't like alcohol anyway..)

There was only once I can remember somebody getting really drunk at my school, they didn't so much get punished but they got referred to a person who deals with alcoholics.

TBH you could get away with say a small glass of vodka on a lunch time, but if they could smell it on you then you would be in trouble.

I dunno...on the last day of school before study leave my idiotic friend decided to bring a bottle of whiskey (or was it vodka?) concealed in her rucksack, and she got drunk in geography. I think it was diluted, but she was pretty out of it by break anyhow. Took her outside to try and sober her up a bit, but she started messing about and our PE teacher saw her falling about on the playing field. She came over and told my friends and me that if she wasn't putting it on we should be careful to look after her, because she could get excluded if anyone realised what she'd been doing. Sorry, that doesn't really answer your question does it? It would depend on how strict your school is and who caught you, I suppose.

Aww. I'm gonna miss getting drunk in school SO much. I used to do it all the freaking time. One time in year 9 French my friend and I had a bottle of vodka and the teacher took it and sniffed it and confiscated it, gave it to the head, and my friend told her that his brother was an alcoholic and he hid it from him or some sob story or other and she actually GAVE IT BACK. And we drank it at lunchtime. Awesome.

I used to put alcohol into pop bottles and get a thrill out of drinking it right infront of the teachers in lessons. The word jambon has never been so hilarious.

One thing I'd advise against though is drinking right before exams. All the still air in the exam hall means the invigilators can smell it on you, it's silent so anything you do will be obvious (ie. have to get off your chair and crawl on the floor to retrieve the pen you just dropped) and also it's hard to write and even harder to understand Shakespeare (it was only SATs). Ah, good times.

Oh, and yeah, the teachers knew quite a few times I'm sure. They didn't seem particularly bothered.

I went to a friend's house for a "tea party" during lunch one day and crawled back to school rolling drunk. It was pretty funny at the time and thankfully, my school was a bit of a monkey house. I do know people who were permanently excluded for drinking in school, but they were people "with form" so to speak.

The only time I've been drunk in school is at an after-party for a play...but you have a pass for that kind of thing. As for a standard school day, hell no.

Yes, because getting caught drunk in an exam is the worst of your worries(?)

I'm sorry, but I don't think you should be encouraging people to drink in school. There's kids on this forum, you know.

It's definitely not a cool thing to do. I didn't suggest that it was, just that I personally enjoyed it. But I wasn't cool.

And you are completely right. I don't advise drinking in school to anybody (because frankly, your school will almost certainly make a much bigger deal of it than mine did and you will probably get into trouble), I just got a bit overexcited when I saw the thread title and posted before I thought. Blame results day jitters? Or possibly the fact that drinking too much probably killed my brain cells and turned me into a blithering idiot.

My school Code of Conduct implies you would be expelled for either offence.

It's never happened in our school but no doubt they'd be suspended :p:

Would make their hangover 10 times worse when they find out the next day! :smile:

I can remember a couple of drunkeness incidents at my old school. The first one was on the last day of Year 9 when my best friend and some other people brought alcohol to school intending to drink it - they'd apparently done this before and not got caught. However, they were showing me and some other people in form and someone else reported them. They got sent home for the day and apparently got a huge lecture - we saw them crying in the corridor.

The second incident was on a school trip to Barcelona at the end of year 10. A few people had bought alcohol and decided to have a huge party on the balconies of our rooms - we were on the 7th floor. A few of us, including me, didn't really want to drink but decided that there was no point in telling any of the teachers. However, the drinkers got really rowdy, the hotel manager came and told us to be quiet and we had to eventually go and find teachers when someone tried to jump off one of the balconies. The consequences were a HUGE lecture, those who were caught had to phone their parents the next morning and they had to stay with the teachers all the time on the trip and they also got punished when we returned to school in September. One of my roommates was really drunk and me and my friend hardly got any sleep that night as we were so worried about what she might do in her drunken state that we felt we'd better stay up and look after her.

In year 11 someone dared someone else to drink a bottle of vodka before they came to school, so they did! All that happened was that they got majorly told off by the head of year but because they drunk the alcohol off-site she couldn't actually punish her.

But if you were caught with alcohol on you or were caught drinking in school you'd be expelled. Even some people caught smoking in the toilets were suspended for a day.
