College Drinking: Changing the Culture
The NIAAA Task Force's focus is on how to change the culture that underlies alcohol misuse and its consequences on college campuses,rather than on simply determining the number of negative alcohol-related incidents that occur each year. The report offers (1) a general approach to incorporating prevention programs on campus, (2) specific interventions that schools can combine to meet the needs of their campuses, and (3) recommendations for future research on college drinking. This link provides national information about how college student drinking is being handled at other universities, by parents,university administrators, and communities alike.

Habit Smart
The purpose of the Self-Scoring Alcohol Check-up is not to threaten you with scare tactics, but to provide you with information about your drinking to help you determine whether it is problematic enough to warrant modification.

Alcohol problems are not either/or phenomena. People vary tremendously in terms of how much they drink, why they drink and how drinking affects their lives. Some people drink a relatively small quantity of alcohol, yet it is enough to cause significant problems in their lives. Others drink more than average and do not find important aspects of their lives to be impaired. The Self-Scoring Alcohol Check-up will help you examine your drinking from a number of perspectives: quantity consumed, situations in which consumption occurs, severity of consequences and a number of other variables. Each section is followed by a paragraph or two of "feedback" which will help you make sense out of your responses. This is not a "diagnostic assessment" and is not designed to identify "alcoholics." Indeed, the term alcoholic is quite nebulous and as of yet has not been assigned a definition with which all addiction professionals agree. The following is a screening to help you consider various facts about your drinking. What you choose to do with the information is, of course, up to you.
