Alcoholism in College
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism did a survey showing that 1 in 4 college students experience academic difficulties from drinking, such as missing class or getting behind in school work.
In a national survey, college students that binge drank alcohol at least 3 times per week were roughly 6 times more likely to perform poorly on a test or a project as a result of drinking (40% vs 7%) than students who did not binge drink.
Now this episode is not to deter you away from ever drinking. We just want to talk about how excessive drinking can not only be detrimental to your success but it can also negatively affect your mental health.
