Anybody watching The Real World?

Okay, it's a terrible show but it's a guilty pleasure. The new season started this week and I just finished watching the first episode. I'm about to sound like a real fuddy duddy here, but one question keeps bugging me... how do these folks drink so much without gaining any weight? There are several MTV shows that I watch with semi-regularity and the personal trainer in me can't help but wonder how people drink with such abandon (and with such seeming regularity) and NOT gain weight? I suppose age must be part of it, but I've never had a metabolism that let me get away with much and I can't be the only one.

Don't get me wrong... every now and then, I'll go out and have myself a real good time but I most definitely pay for it the next day. I just can't imagine doing that on a regular basis. Even when I was younger, I was still too old to do that. *grin*

Yep, the new season is in Austin. So far, the only Austin-y things they've done are drink excessively, flirt outrageously, and get into fights at a bar. Although, I suppose those are more Real World-y things instead of Austin-y things.

Isn't that true of so many college students?

Don't they always end up throwing up after drinking heavily?
