<p>To echo 1of42: “If you think you drink too much, you drink too much.”</p>
<p>And then to add my own: If you can’t stop drinking, then you have real trouble. It means that you’re already addicted to alcohol. Most colleges have services for alcoholism that are both free and confidential. You must remember that there is nothing to be ashamed about if this is the case; it’s biological, not a character flaw. </p>
<p>Of course, if you can go to a party and limit yourself to one drink, then you can control yourself. Most alcoholics say that they will not drink, or will limit themselves to one or two, and then cannot stop. If this is you, it’s another sign that you show go to your college’s health services.</p>
