■ Self-H elp From The Office of A lcohol A nd Drug Education Follow Important re professions Questions Answered

Special to The Observer

Q: My 21st birthday is coming up. The tradition is to drink 21 shots, but 1 just don't want to. How can 1 handle that?

A. Whoa! You're talking about a custom that is life-threatening. This isn't just about peer pressure; it’s about life and death. Have you heard about the Michigan State student who recently died from alcohol poisoning? It happens all too often. College rituals are mostly about peer pressure. When people feel that they should go along with a tradition like 21 shots to celebrate 21 years, it’s because they don't want to rock the boat or appear different. They want to be "normal." But doing something life-threatening just to fit in is not normal. Before you think, “Everyone does it,” re-examine reality and see if perhaps most people don’t do it. And remember, those that do are virtually asking for trouble. This is a situation you shouldn't just avoid; you should spread the word to others that this tradition can kill. It's that serious. Whatever the ritual, if you still feel pressure to get involved, consider two strategies; avoid­ ance and humor. If you haven’t told everyone that your birthday is approaching, they won’t know. Avoid the issue by getting away from campus. How about sharing a special meal or event with significant people in your life? Humor also works. I heard a story about a ritual where fraternity pledges were expected to chug a bottle of champagne. One guy thought it was stupid, but didn’t want to seem nerdy. So when his turn came, he shook the bottle vigorously, opened it, and sprayed the other guys. Tension diffused, chugging avoided, a good time was had by all. So be creative. You can celebrate your birthday any way you want. The most important thing, however, is to make choices that will insure that you make it to your 22nd birthday. Alcohol poisoning is a deadly situation. Don’t get involved.

Q: With exams approaching. I’m tempted to take some uppers to keep me going. If I do that only once, it won't hurt me; w ill it?

A. Stimulants are a large category of substances ranging from coffee to caffeine products like Vivarin and No-Doz to diet pills to drugs like amphetamines and cocaine. They are tempting during exams when you need extra energy. You won’t clarify what types of uppers you’re considering — coffee or cocaine. There’s a huge difference. Whereas two or three cups of coffee over several hours is not a problem, illegal drugs are unnecessary and harmful. Over the counter products like No-Doz or Vivarin can be effective, but should be used sensi Be the journalist you bly. Mixing extra doses of one of those products with a huge amount of caffeinated soda on ari empty stomach can leave you throwing up instead of getting work done. And that defeats the purpose. So dose it carefully. Think of some natural ways to stimulate yourself to stay awake and study. First, avoid the always wanted to be! need for last minute cramming and plan your studying over a longer period of time. Eat a healthy diet during exam week and drink plenty of water [dehydration can really cause slug­ gishness.1 Plan some breaks during the long study hours as motivation. “If I work hard on this Poly Sci for two hours, I can ride my bike a couple to miles, or meet a friend to watch some television.” You may think, “Great idea, but it’s too late now. I've got three tests tomorrow.” If that’s the case, there's no need to avoid coffee or stimulants all together. Just choose legal ones, WORK FOB SCENE. and use them sensibly.

Q; My boyfriend is so sweet when he’s not drinking. The problem is that my parents and SCENE NEEOS: friends have seen him get mean a couple of times (when he’s been drinking) and they think he’s bad for me. How can 1 convince them that his drinking is only a "sometimes ” FEATURE WRITERS thing? A. Your question raises a few red flags for me, and 1 don’t even know you. Many times par­ ents don't know our friends as well as we do, and they can be wrong about somebody, but in this case your parents may be onto something. ASSISTANT EDITORS Here are a few things to think about. How often is "sometimes?" Does he really get “mean," and are you sure he’s never mean when he's not drinking. What I’m getting at is that drink­ ing doesn’t normally change someone’s basic personality. Instead, alcohol is an intensifier of COPY EDITORS moods. It can make an angry person more angry. It can make a quiet person quieter. It turns up the volume on one’s personality. If your boyfriend has a predictable personality change after drinking, this is not normal. It may be that he is abusing alcohol or that his alcohol use has been masking psychological problems. It may be that he has a chemical reaction to the alcohol. Hopefully, you c an encourage him to take a look at his alchohol use and find out what is behind the personality changes. Also you should take a look at your reactions to him, and make sure you aren't refusing to see any meanness when he is sober. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, Your parents and 1 could be wrong, and your boyfriend could be "Mr. Bight," but until you both examine his alcohol habits, I don’t think so — at least not yet.

Dani Klayman scored the game-win­ ning run in the bottom of the 10th inning. Notre Dame found its final victory on Sunday against Maryland, beating the Terrapins 6-0. Myers hit her first career grand slam to cap off a six-run eighth inning. “1 hadn’t hit well the whole game,” Myers said. “I was real­ ly pumped up. I just wanted to get on base for once.” The early season success by the Irish has been unexpected. “ I think to start off the season the way we have is incredible,” said sophomore pitcher Jennifer Sharon, who pitched a complete game shutout against the Terrapins. “We weren’t expected to do much because we’re so young, but our freshmen are really stepping up and we have some great leadership from our senior class,” she said. “We have great camaraderie.” The teamwork and confi­ dence that are the focuses of the team this season seem to be achieving great results. “I feel personally that I’m off to a pretty good start,” Sharon said. “ 1 have a lot to learn, but I have a lot of confidence in the defense, so I can try some new pitches and I don’t have to worry. I know my team will pick me up, and that gives me a lot of confidence.” Notre Dame also has several freshmen who are starting to see a lot of playing tim e this season.
