What percentage of college students report having had an alcoholic drink in the past 30 days? I haven’t had a drink in 13 years and I know I didn’t break any records but I was a serious drunk. Here are some examples of how I used to drink:

30 pack of beer and fifth of whiskey was a pretty normal day.

Once funneled a fifth of tequila on top of dozens of beer I’d already had. Rolled my truck that day.

At 17, I blew a .27 when I got my first DWI (no-one told me not to blow). I honestly didn’t feel very drunk.

On my 23rd birthday, I took 23 consecutive shots of Jägermeister.

Hello everyone, have you ever wondered how many freshmen didn't drink or drink at all? According to AlcoholEdu, 38% of freshmen entering college did not drink in the previous year, and 67% did not drink in the previous two weeks, taken from here https://mywebstats.org/what-percentage-of-incoming-college-students-reported-not-drinking/ Most students drink in sororities and fraternities . And here's a question for you, do you know how many students die every year from alcohol? Approximately 20% of college students meet the diagnostic criteria for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Nearly 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 admitted to drinking alcohol in the previous month
