It's common knowledge that every university in our country has their own personality - after all, you chose their amenities over the rest to get your college degree, am I right? Here are some of the NC state universities if they were types of alcohol.
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - Grey Goose Vodka
Chapel Hill is known for their excellent sports teams as well as their high standards when it comes to academics. I couldn't think of any other liquor other than Grey Goose - it says, "I'm classy, I enjoy to drink, I'm down to party, too.” I’ve heard rumors that they even use expensive liquor to re-start bonfires at frat parties – stay classy, UNC.
Duke University – Bombay Sapphire Gin
Duke is the university that most people attend to earn their medical degree. Duke is full of students that are well above the line of middle class and make no mistake about sharing that. Gin says, “I’m sophisticated and laid back but I don’t know how to hold my liquor.”
North Carolina State University - Bud Light
NC State is full of all the rednecks from your high school that wanted to pursue a career in agriculture or engineering. These type of people like to have a good time and what better way to have a good time than with a cold Bud Light?
East Carolina University – Four Loko
It’s no secret that ECU likes to party. ECU is ranked in the top 5 colleges in the nation for STD’s and ranked within the top 25 in the nation for partying – what alcohol could possibly match these titles? Four Loko’s. A Four Loko is cheap, gross, and all around disgusting – not to mention I’ve never seen someone choose to drink a Four Loko unless they’re trying to get blackout drunk. As a matter of fact, I’ve seen people at ECU funneling these cheap malt liquor tall boys on game days. Needless to say, you can call it an honor to be awarded the most disgusting alcoholic drink on this list.
Western Carolina University - Busch Light
Alright, this is my alma mater. I can attest to the fact that this is the university’s choice for alcohol. Like a Busch Light, Western Carolina University is lowkey and not flashy. It’s your go-to on a weekend trip to the lake or a Western Carolina baseball game (go Cats). I’ve seen alumni still drinking Busch Light at homecoming – like Busch Light, supporting Western Carolina University is a tradition unlike any other.
University of North Carolina at Charlotte - double bottle of Barefoot
I’ve been to many parties at UNCC. This town is heavily policed since it’s right next to the city. These girls can’t use their fakes at the ABC store so there’s nowhere else to go than to Food Lion to get a double bottle of Barefoot wine, Moscato or Chardonnay, to get your weekend started. Barefoot wine is pretty cheap but always ensures that you’re going to have a good time.
Appalachian State University - Craft beer
App State is full of hippy, tree-hugging students. App State is only a short hour and a half drive from Asheville, which is the beer capital of the nation. Craft beer has grown in popularity over the years and describes App State perfect – unique with each different brew, and full of flavor – quite like the granola-eque people who attend this university.
University of North Carolina at Wilmington - Bacardi
Wilmington is located a short five-minute drive from the coast. Wilmington is a historic beach town full of free-spirited souls looking to have a good time. What other alcohol could best describe this cute town none other than Bacardi rum? It’s the go-to for rum and it goes well in a Bahama Mama. Bacardi rum isn't too serious or too expensive so buying handles for your lay-around beach weekend shouldn't hurt your wallet too much.
