Beer isn't the problem. I ended up with a guy that I kind of knew, and he wouldn't take no for an answer. You hear the word date rape but never think it could happen to you. And the problem, almost all reported, has stayed the same or gotten a bit worse in recent years. Such a remedy, although easy to jot down in a poll, might be difficult to carry out.
Guys get really drunk, make ugly passes at the girls. . . .
It's worse for freshmen, who don't know what they're doing. Dan Adams, of the Assn. of College Unions International, said college drinking cannot be separated from alcohol use and abuse in society at large. The poll asked students about that term and got an earful. If I have five drinks in one sitting, I cannot drive a motor vehicle, but I am certainly coherent, without slurred speech, without staggering. It depends on the person.
