This article discusses the relationship between the density of alcohol outlets around different colleges, alcohol consumption among students, and both personal and second hand effects. It shows that the more alcohol available, the more the consumption. Consequently, as students drink more alcohol they tend to harm themselves and others. This study provides useful information and statistics, even if it consists of a certain percent error.

This article discusses the relationship between the density of alcohol outlets around different colleges, alcohol consumption among students, and both personal and second hand effects. It shows that the more alcohol available, the more the consumption. Consequently, as students drink more alcohol they tend to harm themselves and others. This study provides useful information and statistics, even if it consists of a certain percent error.

This article compares between second-hand effects encountered by people living next to colleges with high levels of binge drinking, and others living next to schools with low levels of binge drinking. It explains that binge drinkers also affect non-binge drinkers and their neighbors. The study is completed using a telephone survey. It shows that as the number of alcohol outlets increases, binge drinking also increases. This also increases the second-hand effects encountered by people living next to colleges. Lastly, it suggests that decreasing the density of alcohol outlets would decrease the consumption of alcohol among college students. This article clearly portrays the second-hand effects of alcohol use. However, it is a limited study since it relies on a telephone survey.
