A Night on the Town

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at how at many college campuses across the country binge drinking is a part of the college culture that students embrace during their years at the university. In particular, the author describes the typical night out of the binge drinking student at his university and how students do not take into account the consequences of their alcoholism.

From the Paper:

"The AMA survey shows that "18-year-Olds are most likely to abstain from alcohol while those in the age group 19-20 may be the most vulnerable, with 20% consuming an average of 6 or more drinks in one session." It seems odd that the group with the biggest problem can not legally obtain alcohol. Once out the underage students often use their fake I.D.s to get in the bar and obtain drinks. If under 21, and not in the possession of a fake I.D., they enter as 18. They then go to the bathroom immediately to wash the X's, signifying their age, off their hands. Once inside the guys often buy girls many drinks. Most girls believe its because they are beautiful, friendly, and nice. "
