My mom is freaking out thinking im going to get kicked out over admitting I drink.

If you were going to BYU, or Notre Dame, I could see a reason for her freaking out... but... you're of age, right? And colleges all know these things go on, and I guess it somewhat surprises me that they put someone who is of legal drinking age into a dorm room where no alcohol is allowed.

Its is beause I chose substance free, which I thought meant not drugs, Not no alchohol.
But yeah, she thinks I will get kicked out before even attending classes or breaking rules.

Its the college covering their rears over liability. They don't want to get sued by the parents of an underage kid who dies of alcohol poisoning in a mixed age dorm on school property.

Thats why they've been clamping down on Frats and Sororities lately.

It is a little silly when everyone in your apartment is well over 21 and they still say no booze, but I'd definitely understand it if there were mixed ages.

You're 21 aren't you?

Just turned 22. She got upset I had 3 beers yesterday.

What you need to do, is save all your beer cans/bottles. Put them in a box. Then, when your parents are coming to visit, just spread them all over the place and act totally wasted

What you need to do, is...

...switch to liquor. Fewer calories.

My fraternity brother who is a nurse now for a cardiac unit in Mass. gave me this same medical advice... He didn't even charge my insurance company! (Thanks Obama!)

But seriously Sauceman, you're 22, you can decide to have a libation or two. Tell your mother that it's a part of the college experience and to relate to late teens and trouble youths later in life you need to experience college as it's meant to be experience, constantly hungover...

If substance free meant no drugs then I guess it would make the war on drugs a lot easier

Police Officer: "Good morning, we're here for the list of students who ticked that they didn't want substance free accommodation."

Secretary: "Of course, officer. Here you are."

Police Officer: "Thank you, now we'll just be on our way to make some random inspections."

What if you got a prescription for medical ganja? It's legal there, it's been prescribed and you can write it off too probably.

Then that is medication.

I don't think there is a "No medication" dorm

the cops don't enforce drug laws for marijuana in santa cruz often. Unless you have over an .oz on your person they usually will not confiscate. its quite ubiquitous there.

In Ann Arbor a parking ticket will cost you more than being caught with some recreational herb.

That would be epic.

True story from the Sunday before last. Getting the Boy packed for his permanent move to Aggieville. Sat the boy down.

"Son sit down." (Wife is there too heh heh)
"Son I found a Bud Lite in your trash can" (boys eyes bug slightly)

"Son I'm disappointed. I taught you better." (he's sweating now)

"Life's too short for cheap beer. You want to go for Molson, Hefeweisen, Bass Ale, or Fat Tire. Don't disappoint me and your mother like that again."
Look on his face as the wife starts laughing...PRICELESS.

Ehh, My Favorite Is Blue Moon, Sierra Nevada and Shock top.
I can stomach bud if need be though.

Budweiser's brewmasters are quite good, certain times of the year they make specialty beer like doppelbocks and what not that you can special purchase from them that are very nice.

the normal stuff they make for $ from people that like cheap beer.

and fwiw shock top is part of the budweiser family, as in it is owned by ansheuser-busch

If you're gonna drink budweiser then get the real Czech stuff, not the water it's been turned into

I thought the real Czech stuff wasn't allowed to be called Budweiser anymore, thanks to a trademark dispute.

Here in the UK it's called Budweiser Budvar.

Apparently, according to wikipedia, in a lot of EU countries it's the american which isn't called budweiser but just bud instead.

But you guys don't actually DRINK that, do you?

I mean, surely it's like Foster's here, where you just laugh and are all like, "I'm gonna have a real beer, thankyouverymuch."

I think people who drink budweiser normally, drink it for the same reason I actually drink Fosters (yes, I occasionally get the oversized blue can )

If I'm doing something specific, like watching a rugby match on TV, and I want to get a good buzz fairly quick, I'll go to Fosters because it tastes better when being chugged/downed quickly

Huh. That's usually when I have a Newcastle or a Smithwicks.

Lol, Ironically, I drink Newcastle and Smithwick's pretty slowly, when fresh, they are pretty damn good beers, IMO


Also, just to keep things on topic... PBR is no longer a "college kids" beer, because they've realized they can charge hipsters an ungodly amount of money for it

They're good beers, but generally when I'm enjoying a beer, it's 8-12%. That's like shots; you can't chug those without waking up in your bed wondering WTF happened to last night.
