I was around it a lot. I never drank until I was a freshman in college, at the age of 19. I didn't really want to, but it started with me loving beer from my very first one and casually working my way up. Now I'm an aficionado but I only drink like once a week. That being said, I'm around it 24/7 and you get used to it very very fast at college, like pot. To me, drinking and smoking are like putting on clean underwear, you got to do it once in a while.
