Alcohol Abuse in College
Alcohol Abuse in College research papers discuss the negative academic consequences of alcohol abuse
in college.

College can be a great time period in a person’s life. For many, going off to college is the first
step towards adulthood, and many are unsupervised for the first time in their lives. This not only
imparts a significant amount of freedom, but also occasionally leads to bad decisions, as one of
the most commonly associated items with college is drinking.

Alcohol advertising to college age students on college campuses


has led to questions as to whether the industry sees college students
as a targeted marketing group. About one-quarter of all college
students report some negative academic consequences because
of alcohol abuse, including missed class and poor grades.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and


Alcoholism, four out of every five college students drink alcohol,
while half of those students who do drink engage in binge drinking.
There can be series problems associated with excess drinking.
Some 1825 college students die each year from alcohol-related
unintentional injuries. Over 150,000 college students will develop
an alcohol-related health problem, while about 1.5 percent will attempt suicide because of
drinking or drug use.

Further, alcohol abuse in college can lead to violence. Almost 700,000 students annually report
being assaulted by another student who has been drinking. Another 97,000 students are victims
of sexual assault or rape because of excess drinking.

Underage Drinking Research Papers


Underage Drinking Research Papers look at the statistics of this problem, and the other risky behaviors
that result.

Research on underage drinking can be ordered custom written from Paper Masters. You
determine what aspect of underage drinking you want to focus on and our writers produce the
statistics, the facts and the research to support your thesis on the perils underage drinking.

It goes without saying that in the United States underage drinking is a major cause for concern.
And yet many are unaware of just how significant a problem underage drinking is. The facts
reveal that alcohol has become the drug of choice for the vast majority of youth in the United
States and the pervasiveness of alcohol puts every state, community, and family at risk. The
National Household Survey on Drug Abuse reports that there are 11 million drinkers between the
ages of 12 and 20 and the results of risky behaviors associated with alcohol consumption among
this group are severe. Youth violence, unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted
disease, suicide, and accident-related deaths are only a few of the results that impact our society
daily. And the long-term affect of alcohol abuse and dependence on this group as well as their
families and society as a whole is even more dismal. Ultimately, the issue has become a social
ill, one that continues to plague our society which, in many respects, has thrown up its hands and
said, “kids have always been drinking, what can we do?” While it would be impossible to
completely eliminate underage drinking, a combined effort by parents, communities, media, law
enforcement and legislators could effectively reduce this national epidemic.

The statistics on underage drinking are overwhelming.

 Drinking below the age of 21 is illegal in all 50 states


 Over 10 million young adults engage in drinking alcohol
annually.
 The average age of first-time alcohol use is 13 years.
 By the 12th grade, more than 80 percent of adolescents have
tried alcohol
 More than 30 percent have consumed 5 or more drinks in a row in a two-week period.
 Adolescents who begin drinking before the age of 15 are four times more likely to develop a
dependence on alcohol than those who begin drinking after 21.
Perhaps the most significant segment of underage age drinking occurs on college
campuses throughout the U.S. The national MLDA (minimum legal drinking age) of 21 has been
in effect since 1984 and while studies show it has reduced underage drinking by 10-15% as well
as the annual motor vehicle fatalities among 18-20 year olds, underage drinking is still
widespread among college students.
