i literally hate american college alcoholism culture so much lmao, it’s such a hard thing to get away from like… the excessive binge drinking is one thing that needs to be unpacked but also the fact that when i told my aunt who got out of college a couple years ago that i don’t really drink that much and she asked me how i have fun if i don’t go out and get shitfaced every weekend. like she literally didn’t know how it could be possible to have fun without constantly being drunk. or the fact that my friends will joke about or sometimes actually do this fun thing where they drink to “numb the pain” of something like a failed exam or football game gone wrong. the fact that im a buzzkill if im not drinking at a party, and that all the “fun” girls are wasted to the point of confusion so that they will be easier to take advantage of. like maybe it’s just because i have alcoholism in my family and i know the signs and they make me sick, but to see everyone doing these things all the time and acting like its normal to go on 3 day benders once a week and get so drunk they don’t remember what happened and then to be shamed for not wanting to participate in a clearly toxic pattern of behaviors is just… beyond frustrating and disgusting. the longer im here the longer i wish i could move on from all this because it’s sickening to see peers develop a dependence on alcohol or go to the hospital for alcohol poisoning and then just act like it’s all part of the ~experience~ of going to an american university. it shouldn’t be. it’s fucked up and im so sick of it
