sometimes i think dry functions can be for the best. there always seemed to be some sort of crazy drama involved when we had mixers with alcohol. i think dry functions give people the chance to actually get to know other people instead of just trying to find someone to hook up as well as give people who don't drink more of an opportunity to socialize. i do drink ocassionally but am not big on it, and i know i was always wishing we'd do dry functions so i could actually get to know some of these people in a social setting where they weren't influenced by alcohol. unfortunately, it seems at our school, most people still equate drinking and fun and don't seem to realize you can have fun without the drink!
