What do you want to do?  There is so much going on!

Everyone drinks in college...right?
The reality is that there are fewer big partiers than you might think. Many students don't drink at all, and among those who do, most do so in a lower-risk manner.
Results from recent student surveys show:

  • 66% of students who choose to drink report having four or fewer drinks when at a party. (USI Assessment Day, 2019)
  • 78% of students who choose to drink set limits for themselves. (USI AlcoholEdu, 2022). 
  • 98% of students prefer to be around people who either don't drink or drink moderately and stay in control (USI Assessment Day, 2019). 
  • 94% of freshmen and 85% of seniors do not think that alcohol is very important to the social life of campus (USI Assessment Day, 2019). 
  • 83% of freshmen choose not to drink when at a party. (USI Assessment Day, 2019).
