People tell me that the first year of University is probably the best times of their lives with all the drinking and partying, yet I really want to do well in my studies to get into the business faculty in the second year.

I went to the U of A as well and I can honestly say that you can do both. As long as you hand in assignments and study for exams, there is plenty of time to party/drink. There is no reason why you can't drink/go to clubs on Friday/Saturday night at a minimum as long as you pay attention in class and turn assignments in on time. In the Business faculty, mid-term and finals week are the only times where you really have to study (in my experience).
