Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of drinking among college students. Specifically, it discusses how a health care professional should give advice on the negative consequences of excessive drinking in the student population and how to stem this problem.
From the Paper
"Underage drinking is a huge problem on college campuses across the nation, and it even reaches into high schools and junior high schools. Healthcare professionals are one group attempting to find a way to stem this excessive drinking among students, but the problem is so widespread, it is quite difficult to stop it, or even slow it down. As one expert on the topic notes, "No matter what the barriers are, if underage drinkers want to drink, they will always find a supplier of some sort" (Rosenblat, 2003). There is much truth to this statement, but there are still things healthcare professionals and others can do to help combat excessive drinking on and off campus."

Binge drinking is defined by researchers as consuming five or more drinks in a row for men and four or more in a row for women (Bishop 1998). Alcohol abuse has long been a problem on college campuses. Currently, approximately eighty-five percent of college students drink alcohol (Philpot 1997). Many students on college campuses drink to excess. Binge drinking is associated with tragic consequences, health issues, and destructive behavior. Binge drinking must be curbed due to the consequences suffered by students who over imbibe and for those innocent students who are harmed by binge drinkers (NIH 1999)."

From the Paper
"Alcohol use by college students is serious. It affects the individual drinker and other students around them. The level of usage is generally set in the pre-college adolescent years during high school. The adolescent's peer group in high school largely determines his drinking behavior. This is also true when the adolescent enters college. The problem of alcohol abuse in college needs to be addressed before the high school years when drinking patterns become entrenched. The transitional period between high school and college should be a window of opportunity for students to change their behavior patterns with respect to alcohol use. This paper will examine the role of peer relationships on drinking behavior, some effects that drinking can have on college students themselves and on other students, and possible intervention strategies which have been tried."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There is no common consensus as to exact definition of what constitutes "binge drinking". One view that has entered the popular perception is that binge drinking refers to ".... an extended period of time, usually two days or more, during which a person repeatedly drank to intoxication, giving up usual activities and obligations." (Binge drinking) Another definition is that "Binge drinking has been defined as the consumption of five or more drinks in a row (Haines " (Durkin, Wolfe & Clark, 1999, p. 450) This view is extended in the following definition of binge drinking as a "... pattern of heavy drinking that occurs during an extended period of time set aside for drinking. It has been described as 5/4 binge drinking: five or more drinks in a row on a single occasion for a man or four or more drinks for a woman." (Understanding Alcohol) This estimate has become the basic measure of binge drinking in many studies."

Abstract
This essay talks about college alcoholism and its affect on society. The paper discusses why alcoholism among college students is particularly common due to factors such as peer pressure, loneliness and exam pressures. The dangers and myths of alcoholism among college students are also discussed.
From the Paper
"Each passing year, thousands of college students lose their lives to alcohol. Commonly referred to as the social drug, alcohol is the third leading cause of preventable death among college students. It is estimated that as many as 360,000 of the nation?s twelve million undergraduates will ultimately die from alcohol related causes, far more than the number of students who will be awarded advanced degrees (Shalala 5). Although the nation?s budget allots millions of dollars towards programs to prevent alcoholism among college students, the number of college alcoholics continues to rise annually. While the causes of drinking vary from person to person, they are typically due to peer pressure, depression, loneliness, fraternities, and the lack of parental guidance."

From the Paper
?You don?t know? What do you mean you don?t know?? Gore has already won the popular vote! Three weeks later, and the US doesn?t know who the 43rd president will be! Each candidate is still scrambling to get the 270 Electoral votes needed to win. But, if Gore has the most votes, why is there still a race? What are these Electoral votes? When our Founding Fathers were setting the policies for the elections, there was a debate. Some said the election of the President should come directly from the people; others said the people could not handle the responsibility, and Congress should do it. They compromised, and came up with the Electoral College. A couple hundred years later, the Electoral College is still in use, and there is support and opposition for it."
