Because they may be abstaining due to willpower, rather than disinterest.

All the same...

It's college. You are there to get galactically wasted. It's not like an undergraduate degree is worth much more than that today.
Huh, I always felt that getting a dangerously low blood concentration in your alcohol was a side effect of social activities, not the point of it. Then again, things may be different on non-technical universities or colleges.

If you think you're in college to get galatically wasted, you're either wasting someone else's money or going into debt for the sake of getting drunk.

Don't be an ass. Go there to learn first, party second. College isn't high school. You're paying direclty for the privilege to be there.

The biological imperative to... pursue 'pleasure' for ones self if undeniable. This usually takes the form of getting laid.

Not necessarily. What about asexuals? Or those simply not interested?

I do not understand this concept of 'not interested'. How do it work? Castration?

No, simply lack of interest. Imagine it like it was a game everyone else loved, but you were kinda 'meh' about.

It's called being older than 25. Some people stop thinking with their genitals a little earlier (or later), is all.

A friend of mine was born a hermaphrodite and has shown literally no interest in sex. Same can't be said for alcohol, but he's been laying off it recently.

What do I care for your desires? Pleasure, even ecstasy, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind.

Anyway : the answer is : they fear it will be boring.
Getting wasted = fun, parties, alcopop, easy girl, easy mens, youngness ....
Not getting wasted = boring poeple, oldness, no flirt....
So poeple that drink are obviously superior to poeple that doesn't.
Because TV said so.

But the contrary is of course true: drinking beer = silliness, boring party poeple,....
Not getting drunk = clever poeple, restraint, really fun discussion,...
So poeple that don't drink are obviously superior to poeple that does.

I got to both (so I'm obviously superior to everyone who don't).

Anyway, stereotype say that student drink alcohol and stereotype make poeple fell safe. "After all, if we're bored we can always get drunk".
Don't mistake with stress relief by drinking that is the mofo of some students . (And no, I'm no judging that either).
