15. Have you given up alcohol for school?

    ohbet replied to EyesForward's topic in General Students

    I gave alcohol up for school. There was no way I was going to succeed in shcool with my daily alcohol habit,certainly more than a glass of wine per night,but if your "harmless" one glass a night habit is getting in the way of accomplishing your goals...
