Yeah, I'm graduating from college in a few days and I was diagnosed with IBS at the start of my freshman year. It's a rough patch for a while, but I had awesome friends who learned quickly what was a problem and what wasn't and would never comment if I had long absences from the table. Eventually, it developed into a bit of an in-joke and was something we could all laugh about.
If you need to explain to someone but don't want to go into detail, saying that you have "medical issues" is usually sufficient to satisfy curiosity. It's hard to start, but things do get easier as you go along.
And besides, alcohol isn't that good anyway :-)
