Do you keep track of how much you're spending on alcohol? If not, write it down on a list. Each dollar spent on alcohol is a dollar further away from being able to be away from your parents.
I'd try looking at it like that, to help curb the horrible drinking habits you've been forming.
Like... let's say you spent $10 on a bottle of wine. You only have that bottle of wine all week. That's $100 in 10 weeks, so about two months. In the what, 8 months, of university that's $400, which could be enough for rent for a month depending.
If you drink two bottles of that same wine in a week, then that's $800 you've just wasted.
I'm not sure if you're drinking hard liquor, beers, or coolers, but alcohol adds up really quickly.

Hard liquor. I'm pretty light weight and not picky about how bad it tastes so if I have a liter, it will take me about two to three weeks to get through it depending on how much rehearsal I have. I don't drink the night before rehearsal. If I were always paying for it myself, it would be about $15 a month or $120 a year because I'll buy it off the bottom shelf. However, I have a system worked out and I often won't be paying for it and then I will get better stuff and I will end up paying a lot less than $120 a year. I don't really feel comfortable elaborating on the system in a public forum. It doesn't involve theft if that's what you're wondering.
