Alcohol misuse among college students is one of the major problems
confronting higher education. Most college students at the
University of Minnesota and other colleges across the nation who
chose to drink, do so responsibly. According to a
survey conducted in 2003, 72% of
University of Minnesota-Twin Cities
students* have less than 5 or fewer drinks per week.
(*18-24 years-old undergraduates)
Despite the stories that appear in the media from time to time about
drinking among college students, most students at the University of
Minnesota and elsewhere are making healthy choices with regard to the
use of alcohol.
