Documentary Analysis: Risky Drinking

After experiencing the campus police and the preceding hearing, I have learned that drinking while underage in a dry building is both against the university’s and my own policies. This university takes these matters seriously, which I am grateful for. After this one irresponsible night, I will not be drinking on campus let alone underage. The process that the RAs and campus police took were excellent, for they really frightened me once we were caught. I am aware that this process is in fact a real procedure, not just show. This made me really contemplate what occurred the night the offense was brought to light. I learned, that you will get caught if you drink excessive amount of alcohol in a dry dorm building. The RAs were probably trained to figure out when these situations are occurring, along with the campus police. In addition, I learned that the RAs are just making sure people are being safe (along with teaching them a lesson of not drinking). They are not there to be mean or anything, which one of my peers was convinced was true, but to teach irresponsible students of the results that will inevitably follow after. The fear and

Presidents of college campuses around the nation face issues of underage drinking and binge drinking on a regular basis and realizes that it is a danger and a problem. “Alcohol consumption is the third leading cause of death in the U.S., a major contributing factor to unintentional injuries, the leading cause of death for youths and young adults, and accounts for an estimated 75,000 or more deaths in the United States annually” (Wechsler 2010). Binge drinking can be loosely defined as consuming five or more drinks at one sitting for men and four drinks for women. Binge drinking amongst college students is a social activity that allows students to let loose and “fit in”.

Underage drinking is on the rise despite harsher laws to stop it. Itappears to have always been around despite whether the legal age to drink is 18 or 21. One of the main issues with underage drinking is that the brain in the teenager is not fully developed in the region of judgment and decision making. Because of this teens are known for deciding to do the wrong thing. That often includes drinking alcohol or experimenting with illegal drugs. many teenagers do not just have onedrink, they usually participate in binge drinking. This can continue long into adulthood and soon develop into a full blown alcohol problem.

The Drinker Inventory of Consequences (DrInc) is a 50 questionnaire consisting of questions pertaining to a client’s physical, social, intrapersonal, impulse control, and interpersonal problems on a likert scale (Van Wormer & Davis, 2013). DrInc analyzes a client’s alcohol use, severity, treatments, and treatment outcomes, and changes in alcohol problems overtime (Miller, Tonigan & Longabaugh, 1995). DrInc is given to clients at an onsite location where there are limited distractions (PUBS). The counselor will explain why the assessment is being given and what information will be collected from the data (Miller et al., 1995). One of the main strengths of DrInc is it’s reliability, validity, and usefulness

There is a general feeling that filling in the Drinker Inventory of Consequences an individual responds to a number of events that drinker’s experience. It is a well-crafted strategy that helps to assess the problems caused by alcoholism since it encircles the events within personal life, family relationships, job problems, and financial constraints, problems with the police, belligerence, and others associated with drinking. Although the draft highlights most of the key issues affecting or affected by alcoholism, it also in a small extent invades the privacy of the drinkers. For instance, a person is asked if the sex life is affected by alcohol, change in marriage or love relationships, if a drinker has lost a marriage or a close love relationship. These are supposed to be private/personal issues but are brought up in the survey draft. Consequently, the questions asked are on target for clients

“Just now.” Taehyung yawned, letting go of Jungkook’s hand to stretch, his husky voice cracking a little from sleep as he let out a satisfied groan. Jungkook watched his body twisting, his shirt riding up to show smooth skin stretching taut over lean muscle, and couldn't help but reach out to touch. He ran his fingertips down Taehyung’s side and brushing them over the softer skin of his lower stomach, watching the muscles jump and flutter beneath his touch. Taehyung lifted his head to glance at him, eyebrow raised, lips stretched to one side in a lazy smirk, before sitting up, lightly, softly grabbing his wandering hand and holding it in place, hooded gaze flirty and teasing. Jungkook sat back and grinned appreciatively as Taehyung ran a

Cliff sat down next to Jensen watching the other alpha down two whiskey shots in a row. “Slow down alpha, or I’ll be taking you home in about twenty minutes.” Cliff admonished.

This scenario it's really complicate and sad at the same time. She shares responsibility with the three fraternity boys for what happened to her, due to facilitation, precipitation, or provocation. Her actions of irresponsibility on drinking had consequences. She facilitated for them to rape her by drinking too much. However, if she was able to go upstairs to rest and sober up, which  means that she wasn't that drunk. She also contributed by going to the room alone instead of going to her place. I do not know think that she provoked.

Heavy drinking among college students has been a problem and studies have indicated this for several years (Turrisi, Mallett, Mastroleo, & Larimer, 2006). This topic continues to be a crucial subject of study. Hingson, Heeren, Zakocs, Kopstein, and Wechsler (2002) suggest that approximately 1,400 college students between 18 and 24 passed away in 1998 from alcohol related injuries. Hingson et al. found 112,000 arrests among college students aged 18 to 24 in 1999 for alcohol related crimes. Hingson et al. also reported 630,000 assaults of students between the ages of 18 and 24, 400,000 students had unprotected sex due to drinking, and there were 70,000 victims of sexual assault. Hingson et al.’s study used records held by the Center for

She leaned back in her chair, slowly sipping her Cosmopolitan, her eyes roaming him. His suit was custom tailored, she could tell by the buttons on the arms and the material she had felt brush up against her when they had shaken hands. The white shirt and tie were of the same high quality. His skin was tanned and was the first indicator that he had passed the legal age for drinking a while back, probably about twenty years or so. But aging had probably made him more attractive, she admitted as she looked into his eyes.

I am David Alan Moore, I am Irene’s oldest son. I met Roger in 1988. I’ve noticed Roger’s heavy drinking habits, and his apparent issues with control. I’ve been a witness to emotional and physical abuse.

After serving in the war, Bill started casually drinking with his friends. Although Bill’s wife expressed that she does not like when he heavily drinks, he felt that he was in control and that he could quit whenever he wanted. Bill would find excuses to drink such as celebrations of the success he was having whether it was at his desk or at a bar with coworkers. When Bill was found passed out and caught the house on fire, he exclaimed to his wife that he was not drinking and that he was just tired. He felt that he does not have a problem or that it was is duty to drink with his coworkers. His drinking habits kept getting worse to the point where he needed his friends to bring him home. Bill would call his drinking “social drinking”. He still felt like he was not doing anything wrong. His wife got really tired of his habits and made him write a pledge and swear to the bible that he was not going to drink anymore. He tried to stay sober by using the help of his wife, but it only got worse. His problem with alcohol affected his job. Bill came home from drinking one night and he wasn’t breathing so he ended up at the hospital. His symptoms made him hallucinate. Although Bill was trying to sober up at home, he still managed to find money and buy

Alcoholism is a prominent substance abuse issue in Western society. The treatment method of controlled drinking as opposed to abstinence is a continuing cause of controversy in alcohol research to this day. The US is different from Europe in its acceptance of controlled drinking as a goal of treatment: “in the US alcohol dependence is typically depicted as a ‘recurring disease’ and the ‘successful abstainer’ as a ‘recovering’ though never ‘recovered’ alcoholic” (Coldwell, 2005). Depending on the alcohol abuse patient’s individual characteristics, either controlled drinking or abstinence is chosen as a treatment.
