Concern Over Female Drinking Habits
ABC News reported on the growing concern over binge drinking in college-age women. Females have been drinking at levels previously associated only with fraternity members. Women at the University of Wisconsin at Madison reported that they "drink to get drunk, start drinking early in the night to avoid the hassles of police sweeps and ID checks at bars, and play drinking games where it is easy to lose track of how much alcohol they've consumed." There are roughly 1,400 alcohol-related deaths on college campuses each year.
