Alcohol and the College Experience
Although many college students believe most of their friends and fellow
students drink alcohol, the facts indicate the majority of college students DO NOT
drink underage. In fact, recent studies show that there is a minority of students who cause
the majority of the problems associated with alcohol use and abuse.
Alcohol Use by College Women
Although women attending colleges in the United States do not consume alcohol
at the same level as male students there is still cause for concern. Female students
report some of the same problems associated with male students including missed
classes, hangovers and poor grades. In addition, female students report cases of
sexual assault, rape and injuries.
