It comes as no surprise that the vast majority of college students drink, and they usually drink a lot. However, what is a surprise is how many people in college drink to the point where it is dangerous. In fact, just this weekend 12 college students were rushed to the hospital for alcohol poisoning at a Massachusetts college.
Please take a moment to read the following alcohol-related statistics as they pertain to college students.
1,700 college students between the ages of 18 – 24 die each year from alcohol-related injuries.
599,000 college students are unintentionally injured while under the influence of alcohol.
More than 97,000 college students are sexually assaulted, either by someone who is drunk or while they, themselves, are drunk.
More than 100,000 college students reported that they have been to drunk to remember if they consented to sex.
2.1 million college students have admitted to driving under the influence of alcohol in the last year.
Most would agree that these statistics are alarming. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a drug or alcohol addiction, please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.
