My D attends a LAC that is known for partying and has a “work hard, play hard” reputation. She was a homebody through high school and her only experience with alcohol was champagne at weddings and Manishewitz wine . She has found a group of friends that prefer small gatherings to the massive frat parties. Alcohol? Yes, but no drugs, a small group of close friends, and occasionally as opposed to 4 days a week, and only when school work is done.

That being said, the blotter in the school paper is filled with intoxicated individuals and drug incidents. We set up our expectations before she left home and emphasized staying in a group, not putting drinks down, and not overdoing it. Also, we need to see grades and there are consequences if she does poorly. So far, so good
