As a recent college grad also dx'd in college and conflicted about drinking I can offer you my story and the advice that goes with it.

First of all, if you have any kind of a drinking problem (binge drinking, dependance, abuse, etc) quit while you still can. You'll be doing yourself a huge favor down the road.

Having a beer or two is fine, as long as you make sure its just one or two. If you're like I was and "if I have one, I have thirteen; There just ain't no in between.." then alcohol should be avoided.

This is especially true if your meds are metabolized through your liver. The depakote and risperdal I was taking both were. So I was essential making my liver work triple duty. You may be able to remain stable while drinking, but just think of the damage you are doing to a vital organ.

I learned one thing for sure: Less whiskey + More sleep = a healthier, more balanced me
