College Drinking

The perception of the average college student is, they get wasted on a regular basis. Before coming to Lees McRae and actually experiencing the college life, i too believed this myth. As the years have progessed, the presence of alcohol has been on a rise; you see it in movies and advertisments. The actual truth is 90% of college students do not let alcohol use interfere with academics. This does not mean that 90% of students do not drink, it means that they drink( in a sense) "responsibly".
In class we talked about possible ways to try and decrease the rate of accidents or ways that we could possibly decrease drinking period. Personally I liked the thought of the safe driving program. It would be when students volunteer to be designated drivers to and from parties or clubs. This is one possible way to eliminate drunk driving.
