I am in medical school and started drinking daily while I studied after 11+ hours of class as a "coping mechanism". I learned the detrimental effects of alcohol in various classes, but also still used it HEAVILY on the weekends to decompress. As I start another year sober, I'm wondering what I'm going to do during those stressful times. If you are anything like me, you can do extremely well in Law School as a drunk, but I wouldn't recommend it since you won't have as much fun. You are in school for a reason - you want to learn the law. Try and approach it as a gift, like unwrapping a present every time you learn something new.
