- Leave before people start getting too wasted.

- Remember how stupid some people look and sound when drunk. Be glad this isn't you.

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for all the advice. I can handle peer pressure fairly well, but I was looking for little tidbits of advice that might make it easier (like drinking coke) or something like that. Like I said, I have never been to one, so I don't know how much pressure there is-it could be very little like some of you were saying-but I just want to be prepared.
