Book excerpt: Dying to Drink will shock most parents, who see binge drinking from a distance and are pretty sure that their child isnt doing it or, if they are, that the activity is relatively harmless. Dr. Henry Wechsler, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, has some unpleasant news for them:Two of five college students binge-drink at least once per week.More students binge-drink than use illicit drugs or smoke cigarettes.Alcohol has been linked to one-half of all campus crime.The alcohol industry spends $1.8 billion a year in advertising, much of it targeted at college students.College students spend more annually on alcohol than on soft drinks, tea, milk, juice, coffee, and schoolbooks combined. Americas colleges are in crisis, and Dying to Drink will bring an understanding to readers not only of the seriousness of the problem but also how to combat it from an informed position.Dr. Wechsler and Bernice Wuethrich present an objective analysis of specific college alcohol policies and their effectiveness in this call to action for parents, colleges, and lawmakers. Dying to Drink is required reading for any parent sending his or her son or daughter off to school.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Binge Drinking has been argued to be the number one public health hazard and the primary source of preventable morbidity and mortality for the the more than 6 million college students in the United States. Binge drinking often begins in adolescence and continues into young adulthood. Recent estimates indicate that 1 in 5 adolescents and 1 in 2 college students binge drink. Binge drinking has resulted in numerous alcohol-related tragedies, including acute alcohol poisonings, falls, and automobile collisions, and is often associated with other high-risk behaviours. This comprehensive resource contains all of the newest information that is now known about binge drinking and how this type of alcohol consumption (drinking to get drunk) differs from social drinking and chronic drinking and alcoholism. All of the recent research on this topic are included, such as the results from recent animal studies that indicate that binge drinking may be more damaging to an adolescent brain compared to an adult brain and how changes in trends in alcohol consumption (such as mixing energy drinks with alcohol) maybe be exacerbating this behaviour. finally, recent successful intervention techniques both on the individual level (eg: motivational interviewing in the emergency room) to the institutional level (e.g., programs to reduce binge drinking on college campuses) are described. This book is an excellent resource for any professional who comes in contact with the problems associated with this type of alcohol consumption.

Book excerpt: Vander Ven argues that college students rely on "drunk support." Contrary to most accounts of alcohol abuse as being a solitary problem of one person drinking to excess, the college drinking scene is very much a social one where students support one another through nights of drinking games, rituals and rites of passage.

Book excerpt: Over one-third of Canadian university students engage in heavy drinking, with even higher rates reported amongst those who live in on-campus residences (CAMH 2004; Kypri, Paschall, Langley, Baxter & Bourdeau, 2010). At the time of this study, there was very little recent research to demonstrate the prevalence of alcohol consumption amongst young adults in postsecondary education in Canada. The purpose of this narrative inquiry is to deconstruct the experiences of binge-drinking among first-year undergraduate students at a Canadian university. Data was collected through interviews with the nine participants, allowing the participants to share their stories of drinking and understandings of the ways that social norms influenced their decisions. The interview data was then analyzed to highlight the discourses of drinking that exist within the university residence context, the ways that the discourses are disseminated and disciplined among first-year students, and the ways that first-year students negotiate these discourses of drinking. After analyzing the data, I rewrote the stories shared by the nine participants into three narratives. These three narratives all tell the stories about one Friday night in residence but are written from three perspectives to demonstrate the varying experiences and understandings of the discourses as described by the participants. The thesis concludes with a discussion on the ways that drinking in residence is understood as safe. Understanding drinking in residence as safe manifested in several ways throughout the interviews, highlighting the ways that certain policies and practices further normalize drinking as an acceptable part of the university student experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract. Binge drinking, a form of excessive alcohol consumption, is a behavior most common among college students worldwide. Past research has shown this practice to have many negative consequences as well as changing fads and trends. Objective. The purpose of this study was to assess the individual and environmental characteristics that affect excessive alcohol consumption behaviors and trends through the framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Participants. A total of 445 undergraduate students from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse participated in the study in March-April of 2014. Participants completed surveys consisting of demographic items as well as items related to alcohol consumption, Theory of Planned Behavior constructs, self-efficacy, and social belonging. Methods. Data were analyzed using logistic regression and analysis of variance. Results. Results indicated a significant correlation between binge drinking and subjective norm, positive attitude, self-efficacy, and behavioral intention to binge drink. Conclusions. Future binge drinking interventions should target 21-22-year-old college students through strategies related to changing perceptions regarding social approval and expectations, attitudes toward binge drinking, and intentions to binge drink.
Download or read book A Profile from a Secondary Analysis of Alcohol Consumption Among Undergraduate College Students written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to create a profile of four types of undergraduate alcohol drinkers enrolled in post-secondary institutions in the Southern United States. The study focused on non-frequent, frequent, non-binge and binge drinkers. The study also identified alcohol-related personal protective behaviors and analyzed the difference in alcohol-related health consequences reported by non-frequent, frequent, non-binge and binge drinkers who were undergraduate college students enrolled in higher education institutions in the Southern United States. The research study was a secondary analysis of data using responses to the Spring 2006 National College Health Assessment. Select data were analyzed using chi-square tests and multivariate analysis of variance. Frequent drinkers were more likely to be male, White, and in his third or fourth years of undergraduate study. A non-frequent drinker was more likely to be female, non-White, and in her first or second undergraduate year. Binge drinkers were more likely to be male, White and in his fourth undergraduate year. Non-binge drinkers were more likely to be female, non-White and in her first year of undergraduate study. Frequent drinkers reported using some alcohol-related personal protective behaviors than less often than non-frequent drinkers. Binge drinkers self-reported using some alcohol-related personal protective behaviors less often than non-binge drinkers. More frequent drinkers reported experiencing alcohol-related health consequences than non-frequent drinkers. Binge drinkers were more likely to report experiencing alcohol-related health consequences than non-binge drinkers. Future research should continue to identify characteristics of frequent drinkers and binge drinkers. Programs to reduce frequent drinking and binge drinking should target male and White upper classmen. In addition, future research should examine different types of consequences and whether personal protective behaviors are effective in reducing the risk of such consequences. Further research should examine actual alcohol consumption, alcohol-related personal protective behaviors and health consequences rather than rely on recall.
