Young adults between 18 and 21 are considered the most likely group to enshygage in high-risk drinking including binge drinking

College students are at a heightened risk of developing alcohol problems because of peer pressure and other develshyopmental issues along with cultural norms that sanction heavy drinking durshying the college years

Representatives from Health and Counseling Services will be in the UU Plaza distributing material and adminisshytering a written self-test for alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence Particishypants will be given an opportunity to discuss the results of the test with a menshytal health professional
