Psych Interview and Alcohol.

4397 Views 15 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  lowellaux1
I just completed my psych interview with a dept and the psychologist did not like how much I drank in college. I have just graduated in May, and I would go out on the weekends with my buddies on campus. Sometimes I would get drunk other times I wouldn't. But now that I have graduated I have only gone out two times. I don't drink like I have done in college, but the psychologist said how it didn't look good because I drank alot in college. Anybody have some insight? I have a meeting with the Chief coming up and I am going to explain myself to him.

The Psych doctor needs to have a few beers and relax!!! They are usually earthy crunchy people with no idea about the real world. Hopefully the Chief isn't a recovering alcoholic and you can explain yourself as someone who had fun in college and who's alcohol use didn't cause you any trouble with the law or your family and you SHOULD be fine. Emphasize that it was college, not who you are today.

Good luck and remember, if you ever take a Psych exam again, they don't use a polygraph, so use your discretion when answering baited questions like alcohol consumption :^o

I don't remember using the word LIE, Mr. Mormon. I didn't realize using discretion meant lying.
