I wouldn't say that there isn't a problem with this or that it's condoned. Maybe it's accepted more readily than it should be. But for a lot of people, it's part of college life.
I will be 21 in a few months, and am tired of the excessive drinking that was so much fun for me in my younger days.
Between my junior year of high school and the first semester of my second year of college, I probably drank more than I will match during the rest of my life. My first year of school, I was drunk every Friday and Saturday night and sometimes during the week (I had a 3.3 that year).
I'm not especially proud of that, but I did it. And I think it's good that I 'got it out of my system' so to speak. I was always honest with my parents, who definitely did not condone these actions, but appreciated my openness and honesty. Although I met a lot of people at parties, I took all of the precautions I could and always had good friends whom I trusted with me.
Some people can't be completely honest with their parents, or at least don't feel that they can be. If my parent's had threatened to cut off money for college or take away my car, for example, communication that I consider so important would have ended abruptly. I would have gone all-out to make them think that I was a saint.
Rosebud: These are your SISTERS! I don't thik moving in with them is a bad idea, but if this isn't possible, I'm sure that they would MUCH rather have you around and alive than having to stay home or risking your life driving drunk. Would you let them crash at your place? Of course. As long as you're a good guest who reciprocates their kindness when and how you're able, it should be OK.
