Chapter 2
Subtopic 3
Question 4
I personally feel that all students are fully
responsible for the amount of drinking that goes on in or around their college
campus. While most of the time it
happens on the grounds of the college, it’s not the school supplying the
alcohol to the students and the school shouldn’t get blamed. These students in
order to get alcohol have to go out and buy it themselves. All of these
students know the risks of drinking but still go a head with buying and
consuming the alcohol. Every college, no matter where you go, will have alcohol
and under age drinking going on. Colleges can have the strictest rules about
drinking but no matter what drinking will still happen. These rules might even
make the students want to drink more. In my own personal opinion the only way
to fully stop drinking at colleges is to totally ban alcohol but that is completely
unrealistic. The only responsibility that colleges should have is educating the
students about drinking after that the responsibility is fully in the student’s
hands. All college students are young adults and most of them think they’re invincible;
they have to learn the true power of alcohol themselves and hopefully be mature
enough to know when to stop.

ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you when you say students are fully responsible for the amount of drinking they participate in. We are not taught to drink responsibly, it is true most of us start drinking and don’t know our limits. We can’t put the blame on others though because we were the ones that decided to drink. The school can’t chasing after everybody that goes around drinking telling them to stop. There is too many of us and they are not our parents. There job is to make sure we are getting a proper education while in their school. During orientation week Plattsburgh had someone talk to us about the power of alcohol and the consequences that it could cause. I know I personally took that very serious and think about the things I was told all the time. I know there were people who probably chose to ignore it and not give it much attention, but what else could the school to ban alcohol? Like you said that is totally unrealistic.
