I have known people that have been arrested for DUI's, convicted of misdemeanors, and a wide number of other things. If getting drunk in a college dorm freshman year is your dark secret your doing pretty well for yourself. Realistically the only way this could possibly effect you is if you don't disclose it.
However, I am only an anonymous internet poster as is anyone else on this board or others so I could be 100% wrong, but I have been found morally fit to practice law by more than one state bar so I do have a shred of credibility and I did worse things than drink as a freshman.
Worry about your GPA, LSAT score, personal statement, etc and disclose this incident and you will be fine. Good luck to you.
Many thanks!
