i’m not in college yet but as we all know alcohol consumption among college students can get a bit ridiculous so during those years please pay a lot of attention to how you’re feeling and how you view alcohol because it’s possible to become an alcoholic at that age even though a lot of people make jokes passing it off as normal behavior and it can have a really bad impact on your life and grades basically don’t ever let drinking become more of a priority than doing well in school or being healthy and please take care of yourself

here are a few red flags that can indicate you have an alcohol problem

• you feel as if you’ll be missing out if you don’t get drunk
• you drink to alleviate depression, stress, anxiety, or other heavy emotional issues
• you begin lying to others about drinking
• you get antsy if you’re sober and are surrounded by drunk people
• you continuously promise you’ll have “just a few” but end up absolutely shitfaced
• you drink every weekend, even when you hadn’t planned to drink you end up doing it anyway
• your start craving alcohol whenever you feel negative emotions like stress or anxiety

if you feel that you might have a problem, please seek help because alcohol addiction is a life-shattering issue
