I'm sure we are all aware of the stereotypes that surround college students and drinking. We've all seen the movies with fraternity bros and sorority girls doing upside keg stands, mixing red bull with vodka, drinking four loko, and making too many bad decisions to count. While it is true that the media often over exaggerates the extent to which these things play out, there is some amount of truth to them. I go to a college that is non traditional in that it is small, in New England, and there are no men. Despite all of this we still experience most of the typical college drinking culture. In order to shed more um light on this matter I will explore in further detail which stereotypes are most definitely true.
1. PBR
For Hipsters, we all know it's true even they would claim otherwise. However PBR is pretty gross (don’t fight me on it, its true) and so this means Hipsters, next to frat bros, have the worst taste in drinks.
2. Frat bros only drink warm beer with "light" on the end
ie Coors Light, Bud Light, Natural Light, etc. We get the idea, they like really nasty cheap beer.
3. We do play beer pong
But with water, that alcohol ain't gonna pay for itself and we're cheap college students who would rather not waste precious booze on ping pong balls or the ground.
4. We drink shitty beer
Like a lot, way more often than anyone really wants to. I'm pretty sure the frat bros and everyone else's stressed wallets are to blame, along with collective drunk judgment on what good alcohol is.
5. We'll drink anything
Including "Galaxy", rum in plastic bottles, and Coors Light just to name a few...some guys also drink mystery solo cup mixtures.
6. Everyone will throw up at least once
Usually during their first year, unless you're like me and manage to hold off on that until you are a 22 year old college senior who makes bad decisions on the regular.
7. We make terrible mixed drinks
They will haunt your dreams for years, like mojitos with just rum and mint, after all who needs mixers right?
8. We are the macgyvers of alcohol
And will mix whatever we have at hand, including vodka skittle shots (don’t ask).
9. We LOVE drinking games
All of them, including children's games, cheers to the governor, and strip monopoly.
10. Red solo cups are still a thing
Though at my school we use mugs sometimes because its convenient and everyone has at least five.
11. We are constantly drunk
Sorta like I am right now..
