Answers:
You sound maybe as though you are heading towards having a drink problem of some sort!. If you are unable to give up drinking, I would say that you have a problem!. You may be just a binge drinker, but that can be a problem in itself and can still cause liver problems!. If you are querying how much you drink, maybe deep down you are concerned at the quantity you get through, especially when you say that you worry about not actually having any vailable to drink!. That alone I think pehaps should ring warning bells!.
There is also the cost of buying all that alcohol!. How on earth can you manage to afford all that if you are only a student!?
Even though you assume that no one notices that you drink some on the way to college, I think that most will notice!. Alcohol has a very noticeable lingering smell on a person that drinks too much, it emits from their pores etc!. and however much you try to disguise the smell on your breath it never seems to disappear completely!.
If you are concerned, you can always talk to your parents, or GP, or contact such as AA if you do not want to concern your parents!. They will listen to you and advise you!.
Most of us have been there and done that when we were your age, but the novelty so to speak wears off!. At the end of the day, alcoholics or people with a drinking problem or any other kind of addictipon problem, have to admit to themselves that they have a problem, before anyone can attempt to help them!.
Good luck and remember that you are not alone!. There are people that can advise you and help you if you do have a problem or just a concern that needs addressing!.

Please cut down >!.<
I was Alcohol dependent at 16, and though it didn't interfere with my studies, it wrecked my body, and my life pretty much till i got to college and i got my life in order!.

I had 2 shots of straight vodka every morning at least, and often took it into school with me,
I used to go for malibu and limes at my friends at dinner, its really not a good lifestyle!. And it pretty much messes up stable relationships, with friends with lovers and with familyWww@Answer-Health@Com
