Drinking has become recognized as one of the most important
problems facing today's college student. Even though college
drinking has increased only modestly over the past few decades,
concern about its health, behavioral, and safety consequences has
risen rapidly. This book examines college drinking as a social
problem within higher education, based on interviews with many
leading figures engaged in addressing the problem. It explains how
high-risk drinking is defined, and assesses the evidence about how
many students are binge drinkers and what kinds of behavioral and
health problems they have as a consequence. The book also answers
the crucial questions of why students binge drink and what mixture
of personal and environmental factors produce binge drinking. The
complex links to campus crime and sexual assault are discussed
fully. Key practical questions about effective prevention programs
and countermeasures are discussed in detail. Students and parents
can take action to lower the risk of binge drinking by following
the book's recommendations and by consulting its appendix, which
explains how to use institutional data about alcohol violations and
crime, which is available for several thousand colleges. Likewise,
administrators, trustees, and faculty will find a full discussion
of the scope of the problem and what can be done about it.
