I think the college age person thinks they are invincible and "it won't happen to me" attitude is pervasive ... yet a young college women died last spring, due to over-consumption ... maybe showing the metabolic processes that occur when binge drinking occurs ?????
I think the college student should be asking ... why should I care, I know that I drink a certain way and nothing bad has happened to me yet... why will it ?

Good point. I've already been thinking about how (it seems to me...) that students don't know/understand
how alcohol gets them drunk, what the exact process it, and the timing of it all...so they overindulge in drinking games (which, lets face it, are fun...otherwise they wouldn't be happening) before the alcohol takes full effect. Then they're in trouble before they know it.
And I learned something new....didn't know what an ice luge was...we certainly never used one in the past...
