Chapter 2 "Drinking Deaths Draw Attention to Old Campus Problem"

I believe Sink choose to open her article the way she did to show the readers what can really happen with alcohol abuse. When I started reading the article it was kind of shocking that someone’s life can be over in less than twenty four hours and it also scares me. I know many people that went away to college and within the first week they were drinking and smocking when in High School they never took up those habits. Sometimes they even loose control over themselves and don’t remember what happened the next day.
 Mr.Lane stated "..more restrictions would not solve the problem. Its more about the individual responsibility" I personally agree with Mr. Lane, I believe students tend to do more of the things that are prohibit to do and that no matter what students would always find a way to get alcohol. Students should also keep in mind that “having control” over alcohol is a big part to consider when drinking. Schools will always try to find new ways to prevent or solve problems when it comes to alcohol abuse but sometimes the more you try the less results you would get. Colleges should keep in mind that no matter what students would find a way to drink and should consider another alternatives to communicate with students, let them know that alcohol can lead them to death. In some situations alcohol abuse is due to peer pressure, they either don’t want to feel left out or get picked on for not drinking. This is some of the situations the schools should consider more than making and using rules that obviously students will not follow.
