About 90 percent of dormitories on the nation's college and university campuses
are now co-ed. Pat Fagan of the
Family Research Council reports
that a study in the
Journal of American College Health suggests looking
into several factors, including abuse of alcohol.
"As one would expect,
it's highest in the co-ed dorms, [as it is] two and a half times higher." Fagan
mentions that this "is rather significant because these students are binge
drinking over once a week."
Other studies have shown that college-aged
binge drinkers become alcoholics later in life on a higher level than non-binge
drinkers.
(Wrong behavior will hurt you. Today's young people are paying a high price or will pay one for living a way their parents and grandparents would never had dreamed of. Shame on colleges who have allowed young people to live this way. I guess we could say mom and dad were right all along. Read more on this
right here.)
