heya..hmm i kinda agree with ben..u could be a "social drinker" but ONLY if u really have to..look on the bright side, a bit of alcohol's good for the system..and if ur peers drink themselves into oblivion or liver failure, u wun be one of the dumb ones.. =) well in tt case maybe u'd consider coming back to singapore to live! hahaha... hmm but in tt case u gotta go thru NS.. =p bleahh.. well i guess none of us can really be of any practical use for ur situation there other than giving u emotional support, but i noe we'll all be there for u if u need us.. take care.. =)
