Drinking culture tolerates abuse

I was surprised and angered to read in the â??Alleged Rape at UW Fratâ? about how the University is handling the latest sexual assault allegations. University officials are attempting to pin the blame on alcohol, fraternities and the Greek System in general rather than the underlying problem. While alcohol lowers the need for force in sexual assaults, the larger societal issue is Wisconsinâ??s drinking culture that tolerates abuse.
