A recent survey of student
alcohol use and abuse found that about 25% of LC students choose not to drink
alcohol at all, and approximately 67% of students who choose to drink have four
or fewer drinks when they choose to "party" or "socialize." Additionally, many
of those choosing to drink experienced negative consequences related to their
drinking during the last 12 months:
* Doing something they
later regretted: 28.7%
* Having unprotected sex: 19.5%
* Forgetting where they were or what they had done: 16.9%
* Being
physically injured: 9.4%
* Being involved in a fight: 5.1%
* Physically injured another person: 2.4%
* Having someone use force or threat of force to have
sex with them: 1.1%
