I'm taking vodka too. Not to make myself more confident though, I am confident enough without drink! I just think it will be nice to offer people a drink, that's pretty much recommended for your flatmates is it not?

Or take a bag of sweets/chocolates :smile:

That is what I'm going to do :smile:

Not everyone drinks or enjoys meeting their room mates when they are drunk. Take something that keeps your head clear so you can remember new names :biggrin:

Take booze but don't drink it alone . . . lots of people take a bottle of something and then get together and share it - you'll be fine :smile:

i see we're following the age old saying of "give a crackhead some crack and that crackhead will be your friend."

yer have a few drinks for some courage but not too much so you will be drunk and pass out!!

Sharing is always good; shows you're friendly and willing to make the effort! Bear in mind that a lot of people don't like vodka though, not even just those who don't drink :biggrin:

Just make sure that you bring enough glasses so everyone can share. As said above though, not everyone likes vodka and maybe bringing a bottle of wine might be a better bet. Or at least bring some coke as a mixer.

Don't drink it all on your own though. Have a glass for some dutch courage if you really need it, but if you hog it for yourself it could give the wrong impression as 1) you might look like a closet alcoholic and 2) people might think you're a meany for not sharing.

I wouldn't drink before u meet them, as they'll probably beable to tell, or you might just act really loud & annoying & put them off you.
