College Searching? A Tip to Curb Binge Drinking
Binge Drinking on College Campuses Are a Deciding Factor

By Denise Witmer, About.com


While college hunting, parents can help increase the odds against their youth binge-drinking by asking some questions:

1) Could you give me a copy of your biennial report under the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act?
2) What percentage of your students join fraternities and sororities?
3) What percentage of your athletic budget comes from the alcohol industry?
4) How much funding does the school provide for recreational activities that do not include alcohol?
5) May I check the common space in residence halls on a Saturday or Sunday morning?
