Time to party? I'm not into it...

I (being an Alabama native) know many people that have gone to UA, and I almost did as well. Yes the party scene is HUGE but at the same time there are ~35,000 people there. Do enough searching and I am sure you can find friends/ a significant other who also doesn’t party.

And I enjoy the irony of people calling you “close-minded” for not wanting to drink, when they are being close-minded by calling you close-minded because you disagree with them. No one can deny bad and dangerous things do come out of parties, so if you don’t want to go to one, don’t.

Also, to allay your fears of losing your friends, ALL of my friends drink while I do not. All of them. Yet I still see them all the time and hang out with them often in non-party settings. My girlfriend and I both don’t party and we are perfectly happy and definitely don’t feel like we’re “missing out” on anything. So if you fear being alone surrounded by alcoholics, I assure you that won’t be the case.
