Curbing Alcohol Abuse on College Campuses

This is the time to return to school, and many college students are preparing for the course, exam and party for another year. Drinking on college campus is very common and many people are looking forward to it but many universities are experimenting with new ways to suppress student's drinking this year. The California Coastal University recently banned the publication of newspapers on campus due to alcohol-related content. Publications called "Weekly Surge" are not accepted by school officials who are working hard to provide students with a clearer university experience. Debbie Connor, CCU 's Vice President of Student Affairs, says: Dartmouth University took steps to reduce the number of alcohol abusing students. In the past two years, the use of methods such as confidential conversations with dangerous students, strict enforcement of alcohol regulations, and student-led preventive activities have been successful and will be used again. Washington State University established students, teachers, and adult working groups from the community to reduce minors and prevent students from overdrinking drinking. Freshmen will join the target program to educate them about the risk of overeating and to identify warning signs of alcoholism. However, university managers decided to suppress dangers on campus and underage drinking. More importantly, there are more schools to solve this problem. By trying different ways to manage university parties I hope that schools can find and carry out effective ways to prevent alcohol abuse.

On the campus of the university, drinking alcohol is a big problem. The National Alcohol Abuse Alcohol Addiction Research Institute (NIAAA) reports that alcohol consumption on campus is often considered a passing ritual because it is very embedded in the culture of the university. Students believe that alcohol is an important part of social function. In fact, it has become part of the "university experience" for many years. However, drinking alcohol at university, especially alcoholism is still a serious public health problem. It is estimated that one out of every four college students meets the diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorders because there are many adverse effects on university drinking. Similar numbers report the academic impact of drinking, such as absenteeism, delay in class, poor performance of exams and papers, poor comprehensive results. Nearly 700,000 college students are beaten each other by another drunk student every year.

Alcohol is the most abused on the campus of the university. The National Laboratory for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reported that four-fifths of college students drink alcohol. This seems not a big deal, but remember that three quarters of this population is at a legal drinking age. College students are traditionally between the ages of 18 and 22, of which 21 are legal drinking age in the United States. More importantly, half of these drinkers are in an overeating state and in order to get drunk, they consume 3 or 4 drinks in a single drink.
