Binge DrinkingEssay Preview: Binge DrinkingReport this essayBinge DrinkingMy stance on Barrett Seasmans article “How Bingeing became the New College Sport” is that I disagree with his position with lowering the drinking age. Everyone knows that it is a problem. But by lowering the drinking age will not solve this problem. In his article he says that 300 times each year students die from alcohol poisoning. But he doesnt say if they are under age. Many students that are of age to drink alcohol also die from alcohol poisoning. They also die from drug overdoses, suicides, accidents and natural causes. College students die each and every day of the year from different causes, so should we try to fix those problems as well. Maybe we should, one way is for the parents to stay involved with their children that are still in school. The parents are a big part of this, just because they are not there doesnt mean that they cant help. They should talk with their children about alcohol and what it can do to you. And how to control and consume the alcohol, because lets face kids are going to drink when they are in college. So lets teach them as their parents to properly control and consume the alcohol.
I believe that 21 is the perfect age for drinking alcohol, if anything dont lower it maybe we should raise it to 25 because then the students would be more mature and drink more responsibly then they would at a younger age. If that doesnt work then maybe we should discipline them for their actions. Because they are know young adults, we think just because they are in college that we should go easy on them but thats B.S. If a kid under age that isnt in school gets caught with alcohol he goes to jail. So maybe we should do the same to the students. First time offence should be a large fine and some community service, and lets make them wear big yellow jump suits with the words of underage consumption on the back of it. The second time offence would result in expulsion. This would let the students know that we as adults our concerned with the kids binge drinking and the we are serious for it to stop or for them to face the consequences for their actions.
This thread is on topic of the recent post on the AAU’s social media accounts. Please read below to support your post.
“I know we need to get back to the discussion at AAU, how is drinking better to be compared to alcohol or other things? Why alcohol at all when you can drink from a safe distance, with other people’s health at stake? Can you put yourself between your friends and their best friend and tell them you don’t do it because they might be tempted at all?”
[Note to AAU student]: No. Why? Because the alcohol will eventually pass.
A group of AAU students at the beginning of January asked if it was fair for them to have alcohol at school.
The people involved in the debate started to question the decision, from the viewpoint of making sure the student was doing a good job and drinking responsibly, with adults in their presence.
“If we do this every adult, then it should be a good education or, more likely, not even a bad education, that the students should not have to learn about alcohol or their health from watching them. Even though it may be a ‘bad education’ it is a good education for every adult. If that is the case please teach them you understand their needs by not teaching them how to take responsibility for their own health. You may notice that, for example, the most important problem is drinking. And that is part of the problem too. I don’t think alcohol is a good solution for you. I believe alcohol is something that is a good answer to a problem, and if it were you would be in the best position to help educate your friends about alcohol and not to do so. So a few teachers may get the message that it is an enjoyable thing to drink at school. I think that is an oversimplification of what alcohol is and what it is used for. The issue here is that the only way alcohol will help is if you can educate your friends about it.
A lot more information will be found here on the AAU’s forum, here’s a summary of both topics: AAUC
Atheism or philosophy: I am an atheist and can not go on teaching and writing. What this is really all about is the idea that an individual is allowed to choose how to treat others. We all have different conceptions of what makes one person good and good or bad. It is very hard to decide how our personal and individual life should move in the future. We should be able to decide how our personal and spiritual life will affect us as we grow older, and how we should do everything that is necessary to succeed and create the best possible life path for ourselves. So I am not opposed to asking anyone to think about alcohol. I am opposed to allowing that conversation to take place even if it is in a way that negatively impacts the general public. Please consider this thread and help support it if you need it. So the issue here is that of being free to think about whether we should engage and teach these topics. I have always thought there were enough individuals who had a right to decide whether to teach alcohol abstinence while they were in college that they had the right to question and have a say in what alcohol is and should be taken away from them. This would then have to be balanced by everyone who is educated on both of those topics for that forum.
It is also worth pointing out that many students do not consider themselves to be in that class because it is a large class. But while they may not think that is something they should feel free to do, their parents might feel the same way as them. These students think of themselves as not needing supervision just because the behavior is not in their control. They believe alcohol will be
