"I haven’t been drunk in 3 years... and I’ve been partying way more than you."

I've done this a couple of times and it isn't helpful for the discussion, but in my head I was picturing a certain kind of people... those who are going out to bars / clubs regularly. Those that are drinking the 3+ drinks. To say most people that drink do that isn't probably true. But most of the people out in bars/clubs "partying" I would say are the people who are going for buzzed/drunk. And they don't have to be in college.

And I just drink water at dinner, but that's because I really like water. (some nutritionalists would actually suggest drinking a lot of anything while eating a meal is actually hard on digestion.)

Woah, where did you get that? If by a lot you mean drinking whenever you feel thirsty that's definitely not true. If by "a lot" you mean too much, well... obviously. That's why it's called "too much."

There's a reason you often feel thirsty while eating: liquid helps to turn the food you eat into the nutritious slurry which actually can be digested by your body.

Do a literature review. Also, stop listening to nutritionists: many of them don't even have degrees in medicine.
