Alcohol Consumption in College

Alcohol Consumption in College

Incomplete Paper

Alcoholic beverages such as beer can cause problems for many people throughout

life, but for college aged people alcohol can cause the worst. In college most

people are being out on their own for the first time ever and having that

freedom they have never had. Some problems caused by alcohol in college are,

missing an assignment or class, or even death.

Drinking a beer a day has been found healthy, but in college that is never the

case. Not that everyone drinks or everyone drinks a lot but there is always

that select group that will drink more nights out of a week than not. And when

that group drinks they drink heavily in order to be drunk. Problems occur with

many people who do drink very heavily because it impairs their ability to get

things done for many hours including the ones when drinking and after. A

student may not attend class the day after drinking because he or she may be

to sick or just exhausted from the drinking the night before. After the

student skips the first one it becomes easier and easier to skip classes,

therefore it is more likely to happen over and over again. Also when skipping

classes a student can miss anything from an important lecture to a test which

can really hurt their grades. The final big issue is the number of students

who die every year from alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is caused by

excessive amounts of alcohol in the body. Some very common ways for students

to get this is by doing shots of hard liqour or now the tool called a beer

bong. Both involve swallowing a lot of alcohol very quickly which is very

dangerous for the body, and can many times lead to being very ill or death.

College is a huge part of every student's life, and there is no reason to try

to ruin college or life by excessive drinking. Students need to understand

there is more to life than partying or going out every night. Maybe if the

school did more about educating the students on the issues of drinking there

wouldn't be so many binge drinkers. If that huge paper is due in a couple days

or there is class in the morning going out and partying is not going to help

with either situation.
