Brown: College Drinking

Re â??Calling the Folks About Campus Drinkingâ? (On Education column, Sept. 12):

Samuel G. Freedman notes that since the start of the University of Wisconsinâ??s parent notification program, student detox admissions have increased by 65 percent. Why? Because more than half of our 28,000 undergraduates engage in dangerous drinking at least once every two weeks, and they constitute a reservoir that continues to feed the pipeline to detox.
