Abstract
We are losing thousands of the nation’s brightest citizens to the adverse effect of college binge drinking. These loses are not only due to death, but also to failing in school, unplanned pregnancy, injuries and arrests. The majority of these students participating in this often fatal interaction with alcohol are between the ages of 18 and 24 and primarily first year students, and/or some of the best intercollegiate athletic in the country. The reasons for this deadly participation have been studied from many angles in a search of an intervention to stop the unnecessary waste of human lives. This paper will look at the correlation between the different factors involved, leading to the use and abuse of alcohol and provide a content analysis in the form of coding research. In addition this paper will describe the study process and the statistical support of the hypothesis, that students attending universities that allow the sale of and active use of alcoholic products on campus have higher incidences of alcohol related injuries and deaths, driving under the influence (DUI) arrests and inappropriate/ unprotected sexual interactions of out and out class failure. It is also hypothesized that the advertising, availability and pricing of the alcoholic beverage on or near campus directly correlates with the for-mentioned ramifications.
Hypothesis
Statistic support that a large percent of male college students between the ages of 18 and 24 involved in the excessive use and abuse of alcohol are first year college students, and/or affiliated with intercollegiate athletic organization or fraternities/sororities. It is hypothesized that students attending universities that allow the sale of and active use of alcoholic products on campus
