High-risk drinking among students is the number one problem among colleges and universities in America.
High-risk drinking, best typified by "binge" drinking, creates a variety of harms for students, campus communities, and campus facilities.
High-risk drinking has an impact on academic achievement and student retention. Even the students who don’t drink are affected, such as when their sleep and study are interrupted by the drinking behaviors of other students.
