Excessive alcohol use has immediate effects that increase the risk of many harmful health conditions. These immediate effects are most often the result of binge drinking and include the following: Unintentional injuries, including traffic injuries, falls, drownings, burns, and unintentional firearm injuries.
"I'm having as much fun as I can while I'm in college. As soon as I graduate I'll get my act together." REALITY: Your drinking habits can keep you from attending class, studying regularly, or getting involved in a career-oriented club or internship. Plus, if you're thinking of going to grad school, you still need to be making the grade so that your transcript looks good to graduate schools. One other thing to keep in mind: even though no one goes to school intending to become an alcoholic, heavy drinking behavior in college can ultimately lead some people to full-blown alcoholism after college.
Drinking alcohol while taking certain medications can cause problems; according to a recent government study, there are more than 150 medications that should not be mixed with alcohol.
Women, Alcohol & Sexual Assault: Binge drinking is a risk factor for sexual assault, especially among young women in college settings. Each year, about 1 in 20 college women are sexually assaulted. Research suggests that there is an increase in the risk of rape or sexual assault when both the attacker and victim have used alcohol prior to the attack.
