Drinking is definately a social thing at colleges throughout the United States. When invited to a party students usually feel like they need to go to make friends. If you go you will probably be around drinking whether you choose to do it or not. You may have to deal with peer pressure or just feel like you have to because you think "everyone" is doing it. Students play drinking games which may require one to drink alot.
I am completely against drinking and driving becuase I have seen the negative outcomes when people do. If and/or when you go to a party you should always make sure you have a designated driver! I think our campus should have a program called safe ride because then we would be making an effort to help prevent the tradegies that may occur when someone chooses to drink a drive.
Right now the drinking age is 21 but I think it should be 18. First of all thousands of 18 year olds enter college. They are away from there parents, and are around drinking anyway. I think if they make it legal then maybe less kids would want to drink. Its a rebellious act and some people may just drink because of that. I also think that if you can be 18 and serve your country (risking your life) then I think you should be able to have a few drinks.
Although drinking is illegal it is occuring on college campus's throughout the United States. It is something that everyone should be aware of so that students are able to make the right/smart decisions.
