It sounds like you wouldn't be drinking even if you didn't have bipolar (even if it didn't interact with meds, etc.), so I would stick with whatever explanations don't have to do with bipolar, since it seems it would be truthful anyway.
As someone else said, I definitely wouldn't tell an 18 year old about bipolar --they're likely to misunderstand it and keeping it out of the picture makes the relationship about *you* and not your disorder (which might end up happening otherwise).
As others have said, I'd suggest sticking to your guns about what you feel is best for you. Drinking/partying doesn't make one interesting. I'm sure there are things you do and ways you think that make you interesting and this, and other things, are what you can offer in the relationship. If he can't accept that, well... It sounds like you're just 'dating' it's not too serious, so if it doesn't work out then not the end of the world. In college, there's tons to choose from!
