Everyone knows racism and discrimination still exist, but they aren't the biggest problems facing African-Americans, or the U.S. society as a whole today. If we keep banging the drum of racism, we will never find a way to close this economic rift. We all need to look at and analyze the problems that society feels should be corrected and begin coming up with some serious solutions to these problems before it is too late. The results of a recent survey of GSU students about binge drinking are disheartening, though not necessarily surprising. With stories of binge drinking circulating around college campuses all over the country, it is not shocking that nearly half of GSU students who responded said they binge drink at least three times a quarter and 16 percent said they overindulge in alcohol at least 10 times per quarter.
Facts are facts.
College students at GSU and nationwide are binge drinking, that is drinking five or more drinks in one sitting. Hearing about other college students dying from binge drinking has not seemed to curb the problem. First, we, as college students, should look out for our friends. Taking care of a drunk friend might not seem like the perfect end to a night of fun, but attending a funeral because you failed to take care of your friend when you had the chance is something you'll never be able to accept. Second, we should resolve never to drive after drinking any amount of alcohol.
