Abstract
Description
Studies over the past 30 years have shown that female
college students are less likely to drink and to get
into problems with their drinking compared to male
college students. However, they have been drinking more
frequently and in greater quantities since the late
l970s, compared to the l950s and l960s. During this
present decade many women students have been found to
exhibit abusive drinking patterns and alcohol related
problems. Drinking has also been shown to be a
contributing factor in rape and pregnancy. Women
students are more likely than men to be put into
circumstances where their date may be too intoxicated to
safely drive them home. Suggestions for campus wide alcohol education programs for harm reduction among women students are given along with statistics concern drinking patterns.
