Every Member On Your Drinking Team Makes A Difference

Coach always said every player is important

Every Member On Your Drinking Team Makes A Difference
Sydnee Pollock

Every time you go out, you and your friends assemble to form your favorite team; your drinking team. There are many different positions on your drinking team, but every one holds an important role vital to the success of your night. Although, sometimes not every player makes it on the court every time you go out, your group performs best when everyone is in attendance.

1. The Instigator.

This is the person who rallies the troops to go out, and tries to make sure as many people can make it to an event as possible. Also could be known as the team captain.

2. The Spiller

The person you never trust to hold your drink. Can usually be blamed for stains on the carpet and always has food and drink remnants on their clothing.

3. The One Who Always Disappears

It's a few hours into the night, and the phrase "Where did... go?" Usually this person doesn't turn up again until the end of the night, but you have faith that they are always safe.

4. The One Who Passes Out Early

This person could also be The One Who Disappears. Always the first to fall asleep, and rarely makes it past midnight.

5. The Fighter

This is the person you want to keep on a leash when you go out (cue The Mom). Even the slightest disturbance will cause this person to lose their temper, and it seems the rest of the team is always holding them back from engaging in a brawl.

6. The Emotional One

Always ends the night crying. Either happy or sad tears, you can count on this person to bring emotional turmoil every time you go out.

7. The One Who Can't Stand

(Again, cue The Mom) This is the person who usually is covered in dirt, and knows better than to wear clothing that can't handle their constant falling. Usually needs help to the next destination, or even just standing up.

8. The Mom

A crucial role, although not every team has found their mom. This person makes sure that everyone makes it home safe, and not in a hospital or jail cell. Also known as the responsible one.

9. The Puke and Rally One

No one is entirely sure how this person keeps at it, but you can always count on them to rally. No one can decide if they are disgusted or impressed with their talent.

10. The One Who Won't Shut Up

Can be found talking off the ear of some poor soul who has been trapped by this person. You never know when this person will finish their story, but always has input in a conversation.

11. The Dancer

Always providing entertainment to the group, this is the person who thinks they can dance. Whether they actually have good dance moves or not is irrelevant to this person.

No matter what your role on the drinking team is, remember that they are all important, and the team notices when you are gone.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
