Lit Review 3

Lit review 3

Visual:
One of the authors is an expert on college drinking and studied alcohol and drug consumption.

Citation:
Demers, Andree. "College Alcohol-Control Policies and Students' Alcohol Consumption: A Matter of Exposure." Www.Heinonline.org. Hein Online, Mar. 2013. Web. 22 Oct. 2016.

Summary:
This article begins with the discussion on what factors influence drinking and how they relate to binge drinking. The author describes in detail that certain influences are associated with the year that the student is, what major the student is, and obviously the friends the student surrounds himself with. The article continues to talk about the dangers of drinking and gives examples of students that destroyed their lives because they drank too much in college and highschool. The article takes a turn and starts talking about how to prevent binge drinking and the policies toward drinking on college campuses. Later the article concludes with how the policies should change and how we should not condone college drinking.

Concept/ Value:
This article will help me examine the polices that we have on drinking on campus. This will help my research paper because i can discuss the relationship between the college and the student and how college campuses do not take enough initiative to control drinking habits on campus.

Quotes:

“In a recent priority report, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (2007) emphasized the need to increase cumulative knowledge about higher education institutions' leadership in alcohol control policies and their contributive role to the social production of college drinking.”

“Higher education institutions through their alcohol control policies offer such a distinctive normative frame for students' alcohol consumption.”


“Examination of both allocative and authoritative resources is critical to the appreciation of the nature of higher education institutions' authority underlying alcohol control policies and its influence on students' drinking practices and patterns.”
