Drinking Challenge

Many college campuses across the nation already banned alcohol beverage on campuses, YET these college freshman would do it ANYWAY! RIT (Home of NTID) is one of them, yet there are underground drinkers all over the campus.

Back during roaring 20's, alcohol was banned EVERYWHERE, guess what happened? People STILL drinking anyway, crimes shot up, new founded several organized crimes, and so on. Banned? What a joke! Wake up and get real!

You do realize people have died from this already? It's not funny when it happens. This is rapidly becoming a big problem worldwide, and it needs to be banned.

How do you really prove somebody's encouraging drinkers to drink more? The secret to solving this problem is very simple… EDUCATION!

Let me be more clear: there should be some kind of penalty for those who encourage people to do this, and that person ends up dead. I don't mean ban drinking altogether, but people need to be held accountable for harming someone for doing this.

Know what? There are underground cannabis challenges out there. I would rather take cannabis challenge than alcohol challenge because Alcohol is more dangerous than Cannabis! Nobody had died from smoking or eating too much weeds so far.

It will be extremely difficult to enforce.

No evidence = no punishment

In bold, I don't think it is true - you are allowed to carry alcoholic beverage in college campus if you live in dorm that designated for over 21 years old. That what UAB, Gally, UA and Auburn does that - they have freshmen housing that designated as underage, dry dorm, or substance-free housing.

For rest of your quote (beside bolded phrases), I agree with you.

Education is part of it, but we also need reality, and people speaking out against it to help further educate people to the dangers of doing it.

Nearly all colleges have education about how dangerous is alcoholic beverage but there are plenty of students chose to ignore.

They deserved to get consequence.

SO true! But who's going to listen? Kids are more inclined to sticking it to authority and give more acceptance on what their peers do. As unfortunate as it sounds, guess they prefer to learn by example.
 
Too many of my friends from Facebook do that. Even water and OJ.

No, I am not interesting.
 
Education at college alone is not enough. Best age to educate kids about danger of these stuff is 8 to 12 years old. Those age group tend to remember the fear consciously for a long long time and better understand than at later age.

I would never participate in this challenge either.
 
Natural selection, let them lemmings jump off the cliff after seeing another lemming.... the smart ones do not jump and produce next lemmings.


Population would benefit

We had DARE program and I already learned that alcoholic beverage is bad for you at elementary school in late 90s.

Like Jess said, kids are rebellious until they get hurt and they will learn a hard lesson.
 
Feel best way to educate kids about Alcohol....is not to have it in the Home....Worked for me...all 3 of my boys do not drink. I grew up around alcoholics (family and their friends).....one sibling actually drank Scotch straight, no chaser....another drank more than a 6-pack of beer a night....Father was a moonshiner/bootlegger...made his own "White Lightning"...and it killed him too....Have a neighbor that drinks Bourbon straight too....no way can I handle stuff like that!
 
people can be educated; we can do what we can to educate the general public about the dangers of this/that/whatever (drinking, smoking, drugs, driving, drinking challenge or whatever challenge is popular at the moment, etc.......) and there are people who are still going to choose to do the stupid thing. It is what it is. I don't support this drinking challenge going on, but people are going to do what they want to do.

DARE was very effective on me. Plus I just don't have any interests or desires in drinking or trying drugs, or smoking. no thanks. Have tasted a few alcoholic drinks, wines, blech ick no don't like the taste. But that's just me.
 
stupid stupid stupid and stupid.
