Heavy drinking is considered irresponsible through your bachelor's. After that it's considered "networking" and "building professional relationships". With the implicit usage as a coping mechanism

Reminds me of this very old college meme (but it checks out):

If you’re not joking, reach out to your college’s academic support/tutoring centers. They’re literally paid to be there and help you with your classes. Even if you understand all the class content already they can still help you with whatever you’re struggling with, like figuring out how much time a project needs or how to get it started/organized.

I struggled my first go ‘round in college 20 years ago and wish I’d known that, now that I’m going back I’ve been using the support systems the college has a lot more and it’s been paying off.

Well you gotta do what you gotta do

Would not reccomend but you do you

He's gonna have a bitch of a time a few decades later passing kidneystones.

To build on this, this usage is called a non-count noun. Less beer, less water, less air, less sand, etc. all refer to non-countable quantities of some substance. Beer could be counted, if referred to by some metric (“one glass of beer,” “24 ounces of beer”), same as “a bottle of water,” “one tank of air,” “a truckload of sand.”

Which is all to say that you’re right. “Less beer” makes far more sense than “fewer beer.”
