Binge drinking entrenched in college culture
It's
been
nearly
a
year
since
19-year- old
Samantha
Spady
was
found
dead
of
alcohol
poisoning
in
a
fraternity
house
（美国大学生联谊会会堂）
at
Colorado
State
University.
Spady's
blood
alcohol
content
was
0.436
-
five
times
the
legal
limit
-
and
investigators say she consumed up to 40 drinks the day before she died.
Spady's death was far from the only alcohol-related campus tragedy last year.
Each year, college drinking contributes to an estimated 1,400 student deaths,
500,000 injuries and
70.000 cases of
sexual assault or date rape,
according to the
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
Government and universities
are pouring millions of dollars into programmes
to
crack
down
on
campus

drinking
but
there's
been
little
change
in
students'
behaviour over the past decade.
Many experts studying alcohol use on college campuses say excessive drinking
is
so
deeply
established
in
the
culture,
only
a
radical
shift
in
students'
attitude
towards drinking will help.
What is
Spady's parents, Patty and Rick, have started a group called the SAM (Student
Alcohol Management) Spady Foundation, whose mission is to educate students and
parents about risky alcohol use.


Patty Spady says she and her husband
Sam - a former homecoming queen and high school class president - about the fact
that heavy drinking could be deadly. But she also admits that she wasn't totally
aware of the dangers herself.
Binge
drinking
is
commonly
defined
as
having
five
or
more
drinks
in
one
sitting,
and the number of college students considered binge drinkers - around 44 per cent
-
has
stayed
about
the
same
for
the
past
decade.
But
many
college
students
say
that
definition of binge drinking seems ridiculous.
Barrett Seaman, a former
Time
magazine editor, observed student behaviour on
12
college
campuses
for
his
recently
released
book,

Binge:
What
Your
College
Student
Won't Tell You.
He found that many students are drinking far more than five drinks
over the course of a night.

Pregaming and other drinking rituals
Seaman, who admits he did his fair share of drinking at Hamilton College in
upstate New York in the 1960s, says he was struck by the
drinking today.
One common
ritual he saw was
underage students sat in their
dorm
rooms
or
apartments
and
drank
massive
amounts
of
alcohol,
usually
hard
liquor,
in order to catch a buzz before going out for the evening.
Seaman
says
that
because
drinking
is
illegal
for
so
many
college
students,
they
are forced to do it covertly - and often dangerously - because there's no telling
when they will get another drink as they roam from party to party.

（夸耀地）
drunk,
part of the elite who has access to alcohol.
Dr Hoyt Alverson, an anthropology professor at Dartmouth University, had his
undergraduate
students
spend
three
years
studying
fellow
students'
social
behaviour
at
the
school.
Alcohol,
he
says,
is
inextricably
linked
with
social
life
on
campus.
His study indicates that first-year students especially fear being alone in
their new environment, and drinking
is simply
the best and easiest way
of
friendships, competing, blowing off steam... fitting in and getting ahead amongst
one's peers.
Harm reduction and
Colorado State University's Alcohol Task Force kicked into high gear after
Spady's death. But the campus didn't disband all fraternities or ban alcohol in
general. Instead, CSU and other colleges are hoping that educating students about
the
harmful
consequences
of
heavy
drinking
-
like
sexual
assault
and
alcohol
poisoning - will be more successful.
