How often do collegiate runners party and drink. By the looks of it I’d imagine they do at least moderately during the season. How much do top nationally ranked teams party?

Pretty sure they drink water.
Not the ones that improve after high school.
BYU does not drink. Nau only drinks moderately out of season. Wisconsin drinks which is why some of the guys go nowhere. Stanford, CO, Portland, and Oregon smoke. Iowa State barely drinks out of season. Notre Dame is pretty clean.
There are many bad D1 programs with many talented runners on their rosters, who are content with running the same times they did in high school and living the frat boy / sorority girl lifestyle.
So yes, there are plenty of D1 runners (and D2, D3, NAIA) who party regularly. The good programs don't.
It varies wildly. I think what is most common is a big riot right before the season starts (mid/late August) and then another one or two right after (last weekend).

Dude, you have no clue. I'm about to roll up another.
Honestly I'm not sure how anybody can be a collegiate runner without letting off some steam by partying every once in a while.
Lots of the lower tier teams smoke. It's sad

As long as it's caffeine-free.
I train twice a day, every day, except on Christmas. No smoking and drinking is implied.

US runners wonder why African Muslim non drinking runners kick six different kind of dog sh*t out of US runners.

In my era, a lot of guys drank plenty of of beer. Pre certainly improved after high school. Unless you're missing workouts it doesn't make any difference.

In life, Pre was a loser. Pre embarrassed himself, his family, University of Oregon and USA dying as a drunk fool. Did all that drinking help Pre from 4900m to 5000m of 1972 Olympic 5000m final?
And now I'm kicking ass and getting ass in college. Beat that.

He was a loser? There were movies made about his accomplisments. The trail near campus is named after him. The biggest track meet in the US is named after him. He held ARs from 2000 to 10000.
It was a tragic accident and he was the only victim. If hadn't been speeding, James Dean wouldn't have died, but I haven't heard of him being called a loser.

You have a low bar for measuring success. Babyface Nelson, Prettyboy Floyd, John Dillinger and Machine Gun Kelly (real m.g.k.) had movies made of them also. You seem as if you want someone to pat you on the back and tell you attaboy for your college drinking.

Well, for you, his accident defined him, but for most people it didn't. And your gangster analogy is idiotic.
