'what are you doing?'
At a party one night, college athlete MATT LAWRENCE took a good look at himself.
IN HIGH SCHOOL, I didn't feel any peer pressure to drink. I had a group of friends who liked to have fun, but they weren't into drinking.
Going off to college was a new experience. My school was big on the party scene, and I was the only Christian Scientist on campus. I was also a member of the baseball team, and I desperately wanted to fit in with the team socially. It seemed as though everyone drank, especially the athletes. Instead of the typical big frat parties, my friends had small, personal parties in their dorm rooms with a few people, so there was more peer pressure to drink.
