| Abstract | Several national studies have documented high rates of drinking on college campuses and a wide range of negative repercussions of student alcohol use. Associated with fighting, vandalism, acquaintance rape, and unprotected sex, drinking on college campuses has a clear and damaging effect on campus life. Difficulty meeting academic responsibilities is one of the most common consequences of alcohol use. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) Task Force on College Drinking reports that about 25 percent of college students report academic problems caused by alcohol use, such as earning lower grades, doing poorly on exams or papers, missing class, and falling behind. Given alcohol's detrimental effect on student performance, a decrease in drinking on campus should enhance the quality of higher education. Research suggests that the most effective way to change the "culture of drinking" is through "environmental management," that is, by changing the physical, social, legal, and economic environment on and around campus that fosters alcohol use.
