Report: Colleges don’t do enough to stop student drinking

U.S. colleges aren?t doing enough to limit student access to alcohol, a new study contends.College administrators do recognize that student drinking is a major problem, but they focus on individual interventions and campus-based alcohol restrictions. They need to do more work with communities to develop policies to reduce excess drinking by students, such as monitoring of illegal sales of alcohol and limiting the number of retail alcohol outlets, according to study author Toben Nelson.
