Tag: College Drinking

College students have a bright future ahead of them, but many of them do not consider how their short-term decisions will impact their long-term future. College drinking should not maim the rest of people’s lives, but it unfortunately does for many people. No college student is immune to the risks and repercussions of excessive drinking. The legal drinking age and dorm rules are not effective in preventing college students from excessively drinking. Educating college students on responsible drinking and the risks that are associated with irresponsible drinking is what will reduce the number of college students who engage in excessive drinking and the number of alcohol-related incidences on college campuses. Unfortunately, many schools, parents, and communities are not privy to that fact. Binge drinking has become a staple of the college experience. One of the most greatly anticipated aspects of college life is alcohol being readily available. Statistics show that 80% of college students drink alcohol. A startling 50% engage in binge drinking.
