Gone are the animal houses of years past, replaced by more responsible members focusing less on partying and more on personal growth, leadership, education and community service. School officials are seeing the impact alcohol can have, and today we are seeing more colleges that were wet becoming dry. As students, we may only see the administration as furthering their attempt at controlling us. This is not the case. The APSU administration is concerned about each student and the effects alcohol can have.
Alcohol is the number one controllable link to failure.
Students who drink miss more classes, have decreased concentration and lower grades. Generally, the lower the grade point average, the higher the alcohol consumption. Excessive drinking can impair judgment, causing people to do things they wouldn't normally do if they were sober. Drunkenness can lead to fights and abuses of other people and their property. Students who normally get along well with others suddenly find themselves hurt, in trouble, or participating in events they hadn't counted on, including sex.
