Time in a Bottle

                                         Summary

   Drinking alcohol among young people is one of the most serious problems in the 21st century. When a young man turns 21 years old he has a legal access to use alcoholic drinks. Owing to this, for some people drinking alcohol become a great opportunity to signify their adulthood.

  

    It is a quite unusual fact that alcohol use among students has a tendency to rise up after leaving a high school and going to study in a college. In this case, students began to drink much more than their non- college bound- peers. It is because of students motivation to surpass them and be the first.

   

    Research shows that about 40 percent of American college learners are alcohol dependent people. Getting addicted to alcohol is an easy thing. For many of them using alcohol has become a part of their daily life. Regrettably, it is rather difficult to recover from its addiction.

      

    Investigators found some factors that might stimulate drinking among college students.

  It is known, that peers make a great influence on college students. However, researchers found, that those, who are under peer pressure, tend to drink less than those who drink by themselves. Another fact shows that people in communities tend to drink more.

    There are other reasons that stimulate drinking among college students. With the help of alcohol some of them try to solve their own problems and to cope with stress.

   Anyway, the biggest problem is an excessive drinking. College students think it is fun, but regrettably, many of them forget, that such an innocent amusement may lead to  negative consequences.
