Water is the secret that I wish a younger version of me knew about.

College kids in my day just drank and drank and drank and learned to deal with hangovers.

College kids today tend to alternate one alcoholic to one water. They don't really have hangovers.

They're smarter than we were.

Quasi-mandatory orientation week training about safely drinking really worked – I know college kids who'll eat while they're drinking, and apparently they make make "BORGS" with electrolyte drinks mixed in too.

I just wish they had training about all the avoidable mistakes you'll make in college relationships...

Frank the Tank!
I find it bewildering that anyone ever didn't know about this. almost like not knowing sex causes babies
I've heard stories of med students at my former university going on a saline solution IV drip to drink more.
IV therapy is big business in places like Las Vegas.
