The Influences Of Binge Drinking On Campus

Binge Drinking Binge drinking is utilizing a significant amount of alcohol. College campuses represent the most significant setting of binge drinking because a college is a sociable place where people connect and get together. College drinking remains a problem and students will fight for their basic drinking rights. Colleges should enforce underage drinking laws in and around their campus because binge drinking has many disadvantages. Parents will be satisfied with the college’s decision which is to control binge drinking on campus.

Binge drinking is one of the most problematic behaviors among college students. Research conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, Saint Joseph’s University and the University of Arizona attributed the increase in rape cases to heavy drinking college environments (College Alcohol Study par. 1). Furthermore, the study found that college women with medium and high-binge drinking rates stood high chances of getting sexual assaulted while intoxicated. Overconsumption of alcohol on university campuses leads to an increase in sexual assaults and implementing mandatory alcohol workshops will reduce the number of cases by exposing incoming freshman to the dangers of alcohol in conjunction with sexual assaults. Sexual assault has been defined

On the other hand, many say that some punishments are too extreme. For example, expulsion from school is too harsh of a punishment. Some will argue that it was an accident or the victim brought it upon themselves. These kind of statements are very close-minded because there is no victim that would wish assault on themselves. As for expulsion from school that is not too harsh of a punishment because it is possible they could harm someone else on

Underage drinking has been a problem for many years, yet it is still not under control. An ongoing debate in the United States is whether the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen like in many other countries or if it should stay at twenty-one. This controversy is specifically relevant to college students, as drinking at an American University has become a significant component of a student’s college experience, despite the fact that most college students cannot legally drink. Binge drinking has become a major issue among students as well as a high percentage of DUI and alcohol-related deaths, it is clear that something needs to change in this country. Lowering the drinking age to eighteen would be an effective and beneficial step in changing

In addition to that, professors on campus don’t feel safe either when guns are allowed on campus. College students just like me, want good grades and when they feel like an exam was too hard, they like to complain to the teacher. In a normal classroom, this wouldn’t be a big deal. However,

In article of “Guns, Campuses and Madness”, Frank Bruni thinks that how the students of the University of Texas think about misbehavior of firearms. College students across the country are very interested in emotional safety, and some schools add "trigger warning" to novels and other texts. They make some rules for campus that people who have gun do not carry into the classroom. One of the rules is that they can

To counteract major alcohol consumption many universities are ironically opting to sell alcoholic beverages inside their stadiums. There logic is that by selling alcohol they can monitor and limit the number of drinks

However, drinking games may pertain aspects from one or multiple of the other categories. As stated previously, drinking games are most popular among high school and college party groups. While those who participate in drinking games may take pride and wear clothing similar to the “Olympic Drinking Team” shirt referenced in our text, drinking games are not recognized by the public (491). Most people participate in drinking games as an excuse to get drunk quickly. While every group has a “right” way to play drinking games, without written rules, there really is no right or wrong way of

For the sake of campus protestors and their professors across the country, it’s time to make something clear: there’s no such thing as hate speech. That should go without saying, since freedom of speech and free inquiry is supposed to be what college is all about. But the recent spate of violent student protests, from the University of California at Berkeley to Middlebury College in Vermont, have been met with a collective shrug from an alarming number of college students, professors, and administrators who seem to be under the impression that violence is okay so long as its purpose is to silence “hate speech.” By hate speech, they mean ideas and opinions that run afoul of progressive pieties. Do you believe abortion is the taking of human life?

Drinking among college students takes many forms, some do not drink any alcohol, while others drink only when they are at a party, yet others binge drink with the intent of getting wasted. The students that drink to get wasted is the topic in Thomas Vander Ven’s book Getting Wasted (2011). I will discuss Drunk support, as discussed in Getting Wasted, how it benefits those involved, how it could be used to reduce the harm caused by heavy drinking. I will also discuss the harm reduction movement and ways it can be used with college drinkers. When attending a party that involves drinking, one is usually accompanied by friends, and these friends watch each other to ensure their safety and sometimes to hopefully avoid embarrassing oneself.

There’s a potentially major incentive to start selling alcohol in terms of attendance. A seemingly unending pack of underclassmen rally together to have a few—or maybe sometimes more than a few—drinks at the tailgates prior to football games. Could UMass be able to attract their own students from the parking

In the article “College Presidents Seek Debate on Drinking Age” the issue of lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18 is strongly discussed by college presidents and various organizations and Universities. Even though both parties agree that alcohol abuse in colleges is an extensive problem in schools around the country, college organizations are debating with lawmakers to lower the drinking age. With the intention to reduce driving accidents and deaths due to alcohol abuse, the drinking age was elevated to 21, creating the rejection of many college students and administrators in the country. Lowering the drinking age to 18 would not have much impact in the attitude of young people since there is no much difference in maturity in 3 years. This statement is supported by a Duke University sophomore from Singapore, where the drinking age is lower.

When I arrived at the party it was only seven. I didn't want to be there but Marlee and Skyler had shoved me in the car and told me to shut up, that I would thank them later for this. I couldn't believe what I saw. Students Much younger than me were passing out red solo cups full of alcohol. I assumed it was beer.

The Higher Education of Drinking College is a place for higher learning. It is a time when young adults are exploring themselves as individuals, expanding not only their academic horizons but for many, it’s their first time being on their own socially. Young adults find themselves making many decisions. These choices involve attending class, completing assignments and possibly engaging in behaviors that could impact their own personal health and safety. Sometimes they are faced with decisions that involve the use of various substances including alcohol.

In the nineteenth century Americans drank more than ever. Soon alcohol had a huge impact on America. Alcohol was a unique product in the trading relationships that were slowly altering the cultural and social situation of Native Americans. Alcohol, as opposed to other modern tools or cookware, did not provide a practical advantage to Native Americans, yet the new colonies of North America became submerged in alcohol.
