Yes, I was indeed joking.
On a side note, attitudes towards alcohol consumption at my college (and thus, by completely unfounded extrapolation, American undergraduate institutions in general) are completely ass-backwards. Basically, according to the majority, or at least most vocal contingent of the student population, it is perfectly okay to drink until you vomit all over the place, but only on Thursday-Saturday nights. If you drink on any other day of the week, or if you consume any alcohol before 8pm, you are automatically an alcoholic (whereas if you get sick every weekend you're just having a good time).
