Answer:
if this is a large university, I'm sure there's a lot of people who are like you. You have to seek them out.
GET OVER IT! college is going to be like that...stay in your closet and NEVER come out.
People drink and smoke throughout high school too...
You'll have to find people who feel the same way as you or you can try drinkin and smokin? It's not that bad, just kinda boring after a while.
There are probably other groups on the campus you could join for recreation. Drinking does interfer with getting what you want in life and it is stupid. I am one who partied back in the day. I did me no service and impaired some of my goals. Stick to your guns and stay away from the unproductive students and get want you want and need from this education. Check on opertunities wher you might get some singing experience or maybe a learn to play bridge or chess. ?
If you hate it that much, I recommend moving out of the dorms to where you don't have to put up with it anymore. I also had a father who was an alcoholic and hate being around people who drink. If you don't have the funds to get a place of your own, see if you may get a job for a few hours a day just to pay the rent or pool your money together with others who also feel as you do and rent a house.. The PEACE you will have on your own off campus will be worth every bit of the hardship, RATHER than putting up with all the idiots who have the sick need to drink and get stoned.
you know your priorities so i think all you have to do is to stick up to them...
for you not to feel left out, find a friend who has the same priorities as you do... but you know what, not all drinkers and smokers are really just that... each person has a story, a reason why they are doing what they are doing...
just don't close your mind on these people(but i'm not telling you to go and join them...)

i have lots of friends who smoke and drink... but even after all the years that we have been friends, they have never influenced me to try and do the things that they do... it's actually just a sense of identity... if you know yourself and you value yourself the way the you are, you don't have to look up and follow what other people around you are doing...


good luck..!
