College and University Programs

According to a Carnegie Foundation study, college presidents cite alcohol abuse as the number one problem of campus life. Until now, media attention and intervention efforts have focused on the harm alcohol abusers do to themselves: hangovers, accidents, academic trouble, unplanned or unprotected sexual activity, etc. Recently, however, attention has been drawn to the serious problems drinkers create for others: having one's property damaged, having one's sleep or studying disturbed, getting into a fight or argument, being a victim of sexual assault or unwanted advances, having to "baby-sit" a drunken friend or roommate.

It is more important than ever that college administrators develop comprehensive prevention and intervention strategies, not only to deal with substance abuse, but to support students who opt for drug-free lifestyles. In the same way that non-smokers have the right to a smoke-free environment, students who choose not to drink have the right to attend college without being harassed, hurt, or disturbed by the drinking behavior of their peers.
