Study Abroad in Spain. Good Places/ Drinking?

High i am a high school student and i will be a junior next year and want to go abroad to spain for the spring semester. I was wondering if anyone has a personal experience that they can share with me. I have a few questions. First how long did it take for you to become fluent. I have taken about 2 years of spanish and was wondering if that would be enough and when I would leave, I would have taken 2.5 years. Also I want to know what the host families are like. Is it better to have kids that are younger older same age? I kind of want to be able to drink, but I am not sure what a good host family would be in terms of kids ages. Also when you went what place did you stay at. Is it better to stay in a rural or urban or suburban area? Would it be better to stay in the more city area if i want to drink at nights… Also are Spanish families strict or lenient about drinking.

Thanks for your help.

geeee! yur obsession with drinks. that may not go well with host family. u may get into trouble and then get them into trouble. what would your parents think of them? many of them have responsibilites towards their care and ward. or they will lose accreditation. so they wanna watch over u.
study is not your main interest, huh!?
if drinking is the criteria, city is better. u probably need older kids who can help u when u r drunk. if drunk too often, they may send u home!
2.5yrs spanish is dependent on fluency. if fluent, it should be more than enough.
