Binge drinking, pill abuse intensifies at schools and colleges

I definitely see it around campus, although I will say that the definitions of "binge drinking" have always been a bit off as far as I'm concerned.
 
?Things do work, it?s just having the will and time and money to implement them,? said Roger Vaughan, a Columbia biostatistician involved in the report. ?People need to step up and realize this is not a rite of passage, this is not something we should tolerate. If it keeps going, we?re going to destroy our best and brightest.?

Actually, I think it's more of a Darwinian thing.
 
nothing new its always been like that that old news some ones child probably got caught and they told the media to investigate and what do you know you got a story to fill up 2:00 to 5:00 gap in the news program. there is always a story out with the same subject every year if people would educate there kids at a young age and not be afraid to give them a good whopping when they get out of line it might not be so bad

I don't know about you but I wasn't in college in 1993, so how in the hell would I know that binge drinking and drug abuse has increased since then?

Substance abuse on college campuses is nothing new, but it is taking a more extreme and dangerous form, with higher rates of frequent binge drinking and prescription drug abuse, and more negative consequences for students such as arrests and risky sexual behavior.

Agreed. I wasn't aware that our best and bright were for some reason uncontrolably drawn to drug and alcohol abuse. I thought that was the idiots.

PS: I'm getting tore up to celebrate my raise right now. Responsibly tore up.
