<p>I just found out I was exposed to tuberculosis sometime in the past five years. Therefore I am going on medication that lasts 9 months to kill the virus in my system. </p>
<p>While on the drug I cannot drink a drop of alcohol. NOT 1! I am headed into my freshman year. I cannot drink alcohol until next march. What do I do?</p>
<p>…are you serious? don’t drink then.</p>
<p>I agree with USMA011. Why would you be screwed? Just don’t drink alcohol when you go and party. Shouldn’t that be BETTER, since you lower your chance of 1) doing stupidass things, 2) puking, 3) getting raped, 4) getting written on in sharpie, and 5) killing yourself?</p>
<p>…College is not all about alcohol, you know. Besides, you’ll have 3 years still, if you’re adamant about drinking yourself into a stupor.</p>
<p>r u serious? i am not sure if u are allowed to attend classes if u have been exposed to TB. that’s why they have all those medical check up forms to make sure that the student is healthy. here u are worried about alcohol? u need to get ur priorities straight man!</p>
<p>I feel your pain… but yea you should definitely check on whether your allowed in classes.</p>
<p>“Shouldn’t that be BETTER, since you lower your chance of 1) doing stupidass things, 2) puking, 3) getting raped, 4) getting written on in sharpie, and 5) killing yourself?”
… yea you write all the bad parts, but you leave out the whole part when you have a kick ass time</p>
<p>If you need alcohol to have a good time, then I feel sorry for you.</p>
<p>“… yea you write all the bad parts, but you leave out the whole part when you have a kick ass time”</p>
<p>Oh, that’s right! How could I have forgotten?</p>
<p>…Oh wait. I was just too smashed to remember. My bad! </p>
<p>[/sarcasm]</p>

<p>yeah, typical response by someone who has never gotten drunk before/couldnt handle the alcohol given to them. </p>
<p>you know, ive drank heavily many of times, yet ive never managed to rape someone, kill someone, hurt myself, make an ass out of myself, puke, get writen on by a sharpie, or forget the night before.<br>
good job being completely ignorant. your “holier than thou attitude” is really disgusting. next time, instead of preaching, ignore the topic completely, unless you want to make an ass out of yourself.</p>
<p>“If you need alcohol to have a good time, then I feel sorry for you.”</p>
<p>when did he say that he needed alcohol to have a good time?</p>
<p>“you know, ive drank heavily many of times, yet ive never managed to rape someone, kill someone, hurt myself, make an ass out of myself, puke, get writen on by a sharpie, or forget the night before.

<p>1) I said ‘lower your chances of’. I am therefore inferring that there is a POSSIBILITY: as in, it COULD happen, not it WILL happen. Make sense? I hope so. (:</p>
<p>2)holier than thou? I never knew sarcasm equated ‘holier than thou’. Let me give you my humblest apologies for my clear offense on your part; how dare I use sarcasm?</p>
<p>3) Preaching means that I’m TELLING someone to do something. In this case, I’m merely saying what I think, and suggesting an alternative. My dear harmon was asking what he should do–I told him what I thought. Again, my apologies if this is somehow not allowed on this particular thread. </p>
<p>4) Have I made an ass out of myself? Please, forgive me for my clear jackass-tendencies. I mean, honestly, using verbal irony? Incorporating sarcasm into my answer? Speaking my opinion? SO out of line.</p>
<p>Oh, and if you still aren’t sure as to what I’m trying to say through my overuse of sarcasm, it’s this: It was a joke. Hence the playing-off-the-stereotypes, and hence the qualifying-my-statement-with-a-[/sarcasm]. I wasn’t trying to make it serious. I was trying to poke fun at the situation in general, and perhaps generate a few chuckles. Dry humour, you know. Some people get it, others…don’t.</p>

<p>you’re pretty dense. if you think i had a problem with your use of sarcasm, you’re mistaken.</p>
<p>i have a problem with you perpetuating your belief that people dont remember anything the next morning after being drunk.</p>
<p>not to mention that your examples of things are all negative. i probably have the same chance of raping someone when drunk as i do of rescuing a pet cat from a tree.</p>
<p>Just don’t drink. There are plenty of people in college who don’t drink due to religious/moral beliefs anyway.</p>
<p>Just make sure that if someone is pressuring you just tell them the truth that you can’t drink due to the meds you’re on. Because who knows who could be stupid and try and slip vodka in your soda because they just think you need to be loosened up.</p>
<p>Most schools would probably let someone exposed to TB in if they have an OK lung x-ray.</p>
<p>the mjority of the population has been exposed to Tb and has it living in their lunggs waiting to escape under ideal conditions. If you have ti take medicine that means you have TB.</p>
<p>I’m no doctor, but I don’t think so.</p>
<p>Doctors almost always treat latent TB when found. Latent TB is when TB is found in the system but not lung infection.</p>
<p>just don’t stop taking the meds and follow the advice your docs give you</p>
<p>Here, have some drama.</p>
<p>Ummm…yeah… The bottom line is just dont drink. The alcohol mixed with the meds could likely have an adverse affect on you. And if your THAT concerned about going into your freshman year not being able to drink I would re-evaluate what your definition of a good time actually is.</p>
<p>1) Again: I was not trying to ‘perpetuate my belief’: I was trying to extort a stereotype of drunkenness in order to make a joke. Nor was I trying to say you were truly offended by my sarcasm: I was merely highlighting the fact that I had, in essence, used it to make a joke that apparently was not well delivered enough for you to pick up on. </p>
<p>2) Of course they’re negative: I’m trying to give him a way to look at his situation in a positive light. I’m not going to say, “Oh you can’t drink, HAHA, SUCKS TO BE YOU!” I’m trying to tell him, “Well, there’s always a silver lining.”</p>
<p>Take a deep breath and chill. I made a joke to try and make his situation sound better, you took it wrong, I explained that it was a joke, it’s over.</p>
<p>To the OP: really, listen to the people posting here (: Drinking isn’t everything, and you’ll have 3 years afterwards to party it up. Plus, you catch the end-of-the-year parties after march, so it’s all good.</p>
<p>Please don’t drink, please pleaseeee
look at my name
yeah, drink water!!</p>
<p>well, seriously, after a year, maybe you’re glad you can’t drink coz then you know how to deal with those party pressures(does that make sense? coz now i’m unconcious but feeling like posting things) and then you can drink all you want. Just be patient. Have very high tolerance.(can’t help to say that) You’ll be proud of urself afterward. </p>
<p>Uhh another idea, you can bring a bottle with water in it…no that’s lame
Just explain, they’ll understand. College students should be more mature right?
I feel like babbling more but I feel sorry for readers so … bye</p>
<p>Um well Im a sophmore going onto junior and ive never drank any alchohol.</p>
<p>Be a leader and not a follower.</p>
