Well I just moved into college a couple of days ago and I am hearing a lot of talk about people getting into trouble for underage consumption of alcohol. It just seems like drinking tickets are handed out like candy on a college campus and I am afraid to get one. I'm not trying to go out every night and blackout drunk but my biggest fear is going to a party, maybe having a few beers and then get nailed with an underage consumption ticket. I was just hoping I could get some professional opinions on the subject and if I did get one how it would affect my career. I feel like I have two options: One being I could go out and drink responsibly and roll the dice on getting an MIP or I could go my first two and a half years of college without drinking.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
