If you have any question about ability to manage it without getting drunk, in my view, you should not drink. If you were without question about your ability to manage one drink and let it go at that, then I would say, again, in my view, you probably don't have anything to worry about.

You might find it helpful to go on the Alcohol Addiction forum here and talk to some
former alcoholics who will help you understand what can happen in alcohol abuse for those sensitive to it. They know about AA and whether or not it has beneficial effects for them.

Frankly, I would never encourage a young person, especially one just beginning college life (at age, say, 17 or 18) to engage in fun-loving, alcoholic use. The personality is not set at any age, in my view, and is vulnerable, especially in youth, to many changes in views about things in life. For example, you have chosen already to tell someone that you didn't drink. May be the best thing you ever did, IMHO.

The very fact that you have chosen to write here about it is an indication that
you have some qualms about whether it is the thing to do.

Be your own advocate in this, please.
