Scouting the Territory

 Since posting my initial blog post my topic on College drinking has not changed but has been refined. At first, I was going to focus on both alcohol and drugs, but since researching some more I decided to focus on mainly alcohol and college drinking culture. While looking up the topic, I found that a keyword that helped to narrow down choices for researching my topic was the word statistics. I found many articles varying from blog posts, to scholarly articles, statistic sheets, etc. Wikipedia describes general ideas, such as binge drinking and peer pressure, but does not provide specific statistics that I would like to include in my essay. Wikipedia also describes more specific topics, like health concerns and the effect of alcohol on academic life. I found two articles on google scholar that stood out to me, one which covers the problems of college drinking by UMich. I think this a good source because it gives the description of college students, studied by a college where the st...

Research Question and 3 Scholarly Sources

  Drinking alcohol in college has become a common practice that students view as an integral part of their college experience, establishing abusive drinking habits in students that are causing problems in academic life, social life, and a student’s health. What causes students to get on the binge drinking and alcohol abuse bandwagon and why? How has the view of drinking alcohol as a “normal” practice caused more students to take part in drinking in college? How has drinking habits in college changed over the last 50 years and why?  What are ways students can be prevented from having these drinking habits? How can an effort to not drink in college improve a student’s academic life, social life, and health during their college years and in their future?    Correia, Christopher J., et al.

Drug and Alcohol Abuse In College

Image
   A possible topic I want to write my essay on is drug and alcohol abuse that college students may experience. I want to explore how this affects students in academic performance, extracurricular activities, and even their social lives. I would also like to research when and how alcohol and drug use is most likely to begin in college students. Many college students report being apart of the drug and alcohol culture in college, including binge drinking and frequent drug usage. I think this is an important topic to explore because it can heavily affect a student's  performance in college, as well as have a lasting effect on their futures.
