Retainer AND a social life?

Question:

i've got a full time essix retainer that i can only take out for meals and drinking...but im starting uni in like 2 months and im gutted that my crazy freshers nights are guna be ruined by having to take it out and put it back in again between drinks...anyone else with the same problem? is it okay to use a straw and keep it in?
i know i cud just leave it out all evening but the pain putting it back in is ridiculous if i leave it out.. thankyou.
NO SMARTASS ANSWERS PLEASE xxx

Answers:
you can put the straw in your drink and drink it like that, i'm guessing. and you can break your food up into little pieces and eat it. don't shove big amounts of food in your mouth.
i suggest you go to the bathroom every time and take your retainer in/out. (make sure you put it in your retainer case also.) however, if you cant do this, youre just gonna have to deal with it. who CARES!?!? obviously all of your friends should understand if they are really your friends. just do your own thing and have fun. good luck!
