It is no secret that many college students drink alcohol. Partying, underage drinking, and experimenting are what some students get excited about when they go off to college (unfortunately). It is also no secret that alcohol can do damaging things if not used appropriately or drank in adequate amounts. “National surveys suggest that 44% of college students engage in heavy episodic drinking at least occasionally, often leading to tragic consequences.
