lol Tony.. for most of these reasons I am glad we moved away from New Hampshire in the early 90s.
Though where I am in Florida, depending on your moral philosophy, you might not like being within walking distance of about seven strip-clubs.
I think that the voting, drinking, and military draft should be the same age. Kids around here start drinking by the time they're 14 and by the time they're 21 drinking seems to lose a lot of its appeal. Though some of them can't seem to cut back, my crazy friends.
About not being able to gain weight: It's all about energy input vs energy output. Being in college it's probably near impossible to have the correct nutrition to put on lean muscle mass, but if it's in within your means this is my advise.
Marathon eat, every single day. Start by eating first thing when you wake up, a big meal. Follow that by a trip to your local or campus gym, and eat after your workout. It may even be advisable to have a protein shake while working out depending on the duration of your workout. Eat every 1 1/2 to two hours afterwards, staying away from sugars and sticking to lean protein. Chicken, fish, eggs, and lean beef are the best way to go in my opinion. Try to consume between 500-600 calories per meal.
Creatine may also aid you in your weight quest. Phosphgen HP is inexpensive and I saw great results from it. In highschool I couldn't put on a pound to save my life until I consulted with a nutritionalist, but now I'm at the point where I'm having to lose weight to be in shape for a triathelon. Hopefully you'll never get to the point to where you have to watch what you eat, it's really not any fun.
Hope some of this helps, you'll get there in time!
(PS: Some of the guys in my personal training school consumed upwards of 5000 calories per day)

Tony why don't you try my diet? I'll give you a breakdown of what I eat: 1. Guinness 2. Other foods when available That should work, Tony. It helped me to go from a 154 armwrestler to a whoping 180+ lbs. Now I'm trying to cut down to 165, and so far I'm not even close.   |

Those ads are great. BTW, I feel for you Vermont boys. I don't know how I could live without a spicy chicken sandwich and some hookburgers from Wendy's. I am truly sorry and sypathetic to your plight.

Ya know, everytime I see the square pads on an arm-wrestling table, all I can think of is: "We don't cut corners," and I get hungry. Then our group ends up going to McDonald's, where they cut corners.  |

I knew I liked you Steven, "Ginny" is the drink of the gods.
At the Arnold I roomed with Gord Squire, talk about a guy that thinks everything through, this guy is major league thinker… very smart... He made a comment to me about people complaining they could not gain weight, his answer, eat chocolate cake batter and jars of jam. This coming from a very accomplished middle weight powerlifter.
