Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: B+, The George Washington University, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: I am an international student from Germany therefore, I suppose it was unavoidable that I would have to face some common stereotypes about Germans. "Is it true that every German wears Lederhosen?" and "Do all Germans eat Sauerkraut and drink beer all day?" were only two of the many questions I was asked shortly after moving to DC and meeting my fellow students. As I was thinking of a reasonable answer to these queries, I soon realized that I am not conforming to the stereotypes many people have about Germans. I've never worn lederhosen (leather trousers) before, nor do I like to drink beer. Nevertheless, I was born in Germany and am, therefore, German. This contradiction between social expectations and my reality made me think about another fascinating inconsistency about college students in the States: college drinking. As teenagers leave their familiar surroundings, say goodbye to their family and friends and move away to college, they face the new experience of living with complete strangers, they are challenged to take on new responsibilities, and must study independently. The life lessons one experiences during college are probably the most formative and important ones of a person's life. Tapping into one's academic brilliance is crucial for further success in one's private and professional lives, yet often, college students have a habit of engaging in binge drinking. Why would students behave like this when it is common knowledge that every time one consumes excessive amounts of alcohol, brain cells are killed, and that excessive drinking over a long period of time can irrevocably damage intellectual capacities? In addition to these known health-related facts, both the government and universities have clear policies and laws regarding alcohol consumption. Non-compliance with those regulations can result in harsh punishments (e.g. expulsion from school or even jail). Nevertheless, people take that risk to enjoy alcohol and it even seems as if there is a social norm regarding excessive alcohol and students.2007. 32 S. 210 mmVersandfertig in 3-5 Tagen, Softcover.

Alcohol and the unspoken expectations among American college students, Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: B+, The George Washington University, 6 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: As young adults leave their families, friends, and familiar surroundings in order to move away to college, they face the new experience of living with complete strangers and are challenged to take on new responsibilities (e.g. they must study independently and make autonomous financial decisions affecting their own personal credit). The life lessons learned during college are probably some of the most formative and important of one's existence. Tapping into one's academic brilliance through education is crucial for further success in one's private and professional life; however, many college students have a habit of engaging in binge drinking. The term binge drinking was defined for men as having five or more drinks in a row at least once in the prior two weeks, and for women as having four or more in a row (Wechsler, XIII). Why do students participate in behavior that is proven to kill brain cells? Excessive alcohol consumption over a long period of time can irrevocably damage intellectual capacities which will affect future successes in academia and in life. In addition, both the government and universities have clear laws and policies regarding alcohol with regards to students under the age of twenty-one. Considering that most students enrolled in colleges and universities in the United States are underage, the fact that binge-drinking is such an issue is disconcerting to say the least. Non-compliance with laws and regulations concerning alcohol consumption can result in harsh punishments including expulsion from school and even incarceration. Nevertheless, students continually engage in the risky behavior of "binging." Is excessive alcohol consumption normative among university students?
