It definitly had a negative impact on my health, grades, and focus on school work and im glad that post college ive cut back to 1 night of moderate drinking with friends on the weekend however the habits picked up in college still plague a good amount of my friends from college and Im worried about their longevity.
Its a particuarly hard issue to solve even moreso in a alcohol fueled envirionment like a frat where the freshmen joining look up to the sophmores,juniors and seniors who all have this same binge drinking mentality and the cycle continues.
Maybe the normalisation of alcohol at a younger age would help reduce it as it wouldnt seem like such a forbidden fruit.

Looking to make a move to Denver / San Diego. Anyone have an idea what compensation would look like for someone with 1.5 yr experience?
I also think theirs a good Stephen Hawking quote I like to think of when people discuss how in a post scarcity world with full automation life will be a utopia and its something along the lines of "If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed,"
I haven't missed it once honestly. Maybe I just came to a realization that I didn't enjoy it in the first place.
Edit: I'd like to add that around the same time I gave up/quit using all drugs (except a beer or two on the weekends) unless they were prescribed to me by my doctor. Even then I refused pain medication when I broke my hand because I think I have a tendency for substance abuse.
I prefer the Gi too, work on your monkey grip in no-gi if thats giving you problems though!
