College Student Dies, Alcohol involved

To some people, the two go hand in hand - College and Alcohol.  Ask just about any 18 to 21 year old enrolled in college.  He or she will tell you that alcohol is everywhere, that it is just as much a part of college as books and class.  Ask most parents, and they will admit that they are very much aware that their underage (under 21 year old) kids are drinking are college.  "At least he's not doing drugs," some parents say.

But then you have a case like the one in Bloomsburg this weekend.  A 19 year old college student was found dead after getting drunk and sleeping at a friend's place.  (link to story here at Delcotimes.com)  So what's the deal?  Should drinking and college go together like peas and carrots?  Should we continue to accept Underage Drinking as something that is just going to happen, and then deal with the casualties as they come?  Are we doing enough to keep kids from drinking themselves to death?

  1. No way we are doing enough. There are no consequences for behavior and in West Chester our Mayor is bent on the status quo, compromise and backing up the image of WCU at the expense of controlling alcohol related problems for residents and drunks.
