Understanding the Issue
Binge drinking has emerged as a critical problem on college campuses, significantly impacting student performance, health, and addiction rates. Shockingly, a survey conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism revealed that almost 1 in 3 students admitted to engaging in binge drinking in the past month. Binge drinking is a form of alcohol abuse that can lead to addiction, dependence, and severe long-term health consequences if left unaddressed.
