There is more to life then getting drunk and high
what is the thrill in getting completely wasted- you don't know what your doing, you can't think clearly, you do stupid things which often causes you or someone you're close to great pain or strain
There is too much emphasis on college and university drinking, especially first year. Many first years get the 'freshman 15'. It's blamed primarily on the food they eat, but i truly believe that their drinking habits influence their weight gain far more than any food does.
When i speak with friends who are always away at university, they're stories and excitement revolve generally around the stupid things they've done while drunk out of their minds, or what they don't remember doing while being drunk out of their minds. Their friendships revolve around their drinking habits; which clubs they enjoy the most and who can afford the most alcohol.
Back home, the general belief was the great need or desire for drinking and getting stoned was a way to prove yourself worthy enough of a certain popularity or deserving of someone's friendship.
But perhaps the idea of winning ones friends prepares one for reality- where everything is one big fraud. Nothing is genuine, and once something (or someone) has fulfilled their purpose they are 'dismissed'.
We live in a very greedy world -every man for himself-
Working together to achieve something is rarely heard of, and when it does happen, one of the members has betrayed the other, leaving them humiliated and with nothing.
-Is there anyway to somehow bypass this part of life or this kind of life-

I am very interested in what you have to say. But it is very evident that you are condemning something that you have never tried. As someone who drinks but does not do drugs, I find drinking socially enjoyable. Responsablilty is an important aspect of ones life. But if you never experience things out of your character I think you will have difficulties in your future. Not only with your peers but with your children one day who are forced to make these types of decisions.
I guess what I am saying is that you can't knock something until you have tried it. And you make people who drink out to be horrible people...and I really hope you wouldn't think less of me because I do enjoy drinking.
I happen to know that you do "socially drink", but in moderation, and therefore know that your opinion and thoughts are well supported.
