Binge Drinking is an intriguing phenomenon that many young
people especially the students take part in all across the country. The issue
of binge drinking has been a problem on college campuses for decades. Binge
drinking has many horrible effects, but the problem starts with the causes for
it. If the causes could be controlled then the issue would not get out of hand.
Many college students give different causes for their drinking problems, and
experts on the subject have their explanations as well.
Drinking modest amounts of alcohol may have some
consequences, but binge drinking has more negative consequences than normal
modest drinking. There are many examples as to the consequences that binge
drinking can cause to college student’s lives, but one of the main consequences
that students face as a result of frequent drinking is poor.
I think why youth in CNMI do binge drinking because it’s
fun: This is one of the most common reasons for binge drinking. Most youngsters
just want to let their hair down, enjoy a night or two (or more) of revelry,
let go of their inhibitions, and ease the burden of so many expectations and
pressure. They want to socialize and feel more self-confident. They want to
assert their dominance or macho image. They want to forget their problems.
Alcohol is not an ordinary commodity. While it carries
connotations of pleasure and sociability in the minds of many, harmful
consequences of its use are diverse and widespread. Binge or excessive drinking
is the most serious problem affecting social life, health and education on high
school students today.
Binge or excessive drinking by high school students has
become a social phenomenon in which high school students don’t acknowledge the
health risk that are involved with their drinking habits. Furthermore, high
school students do not know enough about alcohol in general d what exactly it
does to the body or they do not pay attention to the information given to them.
