It's important to be responsible when you drink, so take heed of warnings about alcohol. Don't drive drunk -- that's just common sense and it doesn't mean everyone won't be having one kick-ass time. But as you're sifting through all those different kinds of alcohol, it can be hard to determine which is right for you. So I've put together a profile of just what kind of beverage best suits your personality. Enjoy Little 500, 2006.\nTHE PARTY ANIMAL\nYou make it your mission to be the center of attention in any room that you enter. You order shots for the entire bar and can most commonly be found on the dance floor with a large group of friends. You pick the songs that play on the jukebox and everybody loves what you pick. When you say "CHUG!" anyone within your shouting distance obeys immediately, but you're always the first one done. You dance with all the pretty people, you know all the words to "Piano Man" and you can beer bong two tallboys at the same time. \nYOUR DRINK: AMF\nTHE CHILLAXER\nYou enjoy the quiet drinking scene. When you consume alcohol, it's generally on the low-key basis in your apartment. The people you party with are your select group of friends and you're perfectly content spending time with the same people every time you get a little tipsy. You have fun making inside jokes and playing drinking games that only your specific group knows. Most of your conversations involve who your friends slept with and what effect that occurrence will have on your everyday life. You relax and have fun. \nYOUR DRINK: IMPORT BEER\nTHE ECONOMIST\nYou might be so deep in bills and student loans that you can't breathe, you might be sick of high prices on alcohol or you might just be really cheap. But for whatever reason you don't want to spend a lot of money. You flock to parties with open bars and free keg cups. When someone asks you to chip in for the brews, you mysteriously move to the back of the crowd. When you do purchase alcohol, it's generally along the lines of Keystone and Busch Light. You spend the nights skimming beer and drinking whatever someone gives you. \nYOUR DRINK: DOMESTIC BEER\nTHE SECRET AGENT\nYou walk into a room and everyone gasps for air. You're gorgeous, have an award-winning smile and walk with a cool confidence that is rarely seen. You can hold your liquor, but know your limit. You think quickly on your feet and know when it's time to put down your glass, pick up your instrument and amaze a crowd that has been waiting in anticipation. You generally show up to the party in a full suit or beautiful dress and have the eye of every member of the opposite sex within a surrounding perimeter of five states. You are shaken, not stirred. \nYOUR DRINK: MARTINI\nHIGH-CLASS SASS\nYou have a big car that everyone envies. You pride yourself on being clean-cut, upstanding and in general good grace with the important people in your field. You like to quietly have the attention and envy of every person you see, and admittedly, you probably have it. You don't say much, but everyone is attracted to you and listens to your every word, sometimes in English and sometimes in French. You never fight and are always calm and cool during arguments. You wish for nothing else than to someday be well-known and respected in the business and social scenes. \nYOUR DRINK: WINE\nBALLS-TO-THE-WALL\nYou generally have no regard for your own safety or the safety of the people around you. The only thing you care about is that you had better not remember anything past noon. You do continuous lines of shots and drink 40 oz. bottles of beer like they're water. You don't refuse any type of drink. If someone offered you paint thinner, you would probably actively consider swallowing it and hope that it didn't burn too badly. You can't feel your legs, arms, lips or stomach (which might or might not be exposing your insides at any minute). \nYOUR DRINK: EVERCLEAR\nTHE ENTHUSIAST\nYou love the bars of IU. You spend your Friday and Saturday nights walking and eventually stumbling from bar to bar, hoping that you appear sober enough that the bouncer won't throw you out. You don't need to ask for the drink specials because you have them committed to memory. You make random friends at the bar and are ready to buy them a drink whatever sex they might be. You know the bartenders by name and are part of the regular crowd at every nighttime hot spot. You drink with the best of them and have a good time to boot. \nYOUR DRINK: RUM AND COKE
Meet Your Match It's little 500 time!
Welcome to that special time of year when IU students put away more alcohol than Rhode Island can hold in its entire market of liquor stores. Bust out the beer pong tables, pull out the shot glasses and put the drinks on ice, because here we go, this year
