Yeah, I drank a lot in college
Jul. 29, 2008 by Jason
So the University of Florida is the top party school. No big surprise. Huge football and basketball programs, frat boys and sorority girls slacking around every corner, and everyone wears shorts and flip-flops every day. Seems like the perfect place to guzzle cheap lager from a beer bong.
I didn’t really hang with that kind of crowd when I went to UF. I wasn’t in a frat and I kicked ass in class (graduated in 3 and a half years with Honors). But I did drink nearly every day - still do for that matter. I was one of the lucky ones who was able to separate work and pleasure. I managed to get shitfaced regularly without skipping class. Sure it was a headache (literally), but I made it happen.
A few random facts from my fuzzy memory:
- My favorite bar was nicknamed “The Rotator”.
- My co-worker got fired for smoking weed and starting a fire in the Law School lounge.
- My next door neighbor had an apartment full of hydroponics.
- I worked for the police department.
- My former roommate placed an above ground pool on his apartment’s front lawn.
- I once broke out in hives, either due to an overdose of amaretto, a random bug bite, or an awkward conversation with an ex girlfriend.
- I was nearly convinced that my true calling in life was with the Hare Krishnas.
- The fire department came out to my apartment at least three times due to drunken bonfires.
Go Gators!

HA-ha! That’s hilarious!
Especially about the parts about your friends (and you) being pot heads and you working for the fuzz.
I can’t drink almost every day. I’ll feel like shit all day long and will end up unproductive.
I still say you need to get up here so we can party. There’s a bar here that I really think you should get a gig at too.

if you can’t drink everyday and be productive then you are doing it wrong.

If you cannot drink everyday and be productive, then you are doing it wrong.
or is it my drinking that prohibits me from posting a fucking comment on this blog. I have too much ADD for this shit!

What about the story of your roommate shitting on the coffee table for April Fools? Good times!

I have partied many weekends at UF and I may or may not have had relations with a frat boy on the fire truck in front of the Pike house. That’s all I’m saying.
