Alcohol_Abuse

Alcohol Abuse In reference to alcohol abuse among students, the theory that “the crux of the problem is the behavior of the drinker, not the quantity of alcohol consumed” is a valid one. The actions taken by drunken students are the fault of society’s denial of our students’ alcohol abuse and our inaction to resolve the issue. Our students need to develop a sense of personal responsibility, and our government along with our schools need to help our students develop it. How can we blame our students for the actions they chose to make in a situation that we never taught them to deal with or handle' We, as a whole, must recognize students’ alcohol abuse as a serious problem in our society, accept that it is our fault due to our denial of the issue, and begin to teach our students, at a young, how to deal with those kinds of issues, situations, and problems. “More than 1,400 college students die each year in alcohol-related incidents; mostly from falls, drowning and automobile accidents”(Binge Drinking). Obviously, the ‘Just Say No’ Campaign is failing. It seems as though we are telling our kids to just say no because students, alcohol, abuse, must, drinking, deal, situations, problem, develop, students’, situation, responsibility, recognize, personal, need, government, fault, young, year, teach, taught, significantly, serious, sense, schools, say, responsible, quantity, one, make, issue, inform, high, help, harmful
