For some college students, the first few weeks of college present a new situation: readily available alcohol with no accountability to someone other than yourself.
Most college administrators -- myself included -- are very much aware of the drinking that happens on college campuses. And because we deal with the unfortunate and unexpected aftermaths, we often are more aware than others about the consequences.
If you're in college for the first time and plan on drinking, just be smart about it. You got into your school because of your brains, right? So use 'em. Designate a driver if you're going off campus. If you're going in a group, designate someone to keep an eye on everyone and make sure the group gets home safely. Keep an eye on your drink at all times. Don't drink past the point of being able to make healthy choices for yourself. And remember that if someone is intoxicated, they are unable to give consent -- period.
