    There are many colleges students that engage in illegal alcohol and drug consumption. There had been a rise un marijuana and other illicit drugs used. Many colleges students claim they drunk and do drugs to relax. In 2005 the number of college students claiming to smoke marijuana climbed to 4%. This huge number of students helps support the rise in drug use on college campus. This is becoming a problem among college students. This article is the best one I have found it talk about the rise of drug use among college students. It talks about statistical data and the percentages of use among college students. This is more statistical data that just show that there is more needed to be done with college students and drinking these days. With this in mind I will out these into my article and use them accordingly.

This article also explains the correlation between alcohol and drug use and abuse. With this in mind these effects with help me better understand alcohol abuse. This is great insight on negative effect of alcohol. There are the negative effects of marijuana but compared to the impaired non judgmental effects of alcohol the two do not compare. This is a great article because it helps me better understand the correlation between these drugs. Also it gives me more statistical information on how I should present facts and numbers.

    This article discusses early alcohol use and abuse among college students. They use surveys and other questioners to access use and abuse among college students. They discuss how early use of alcohol makes students more prone to alcoholism. They use statistical data collected by these surveys. Drug and alcohol use among college students is on the rise. This is a great article for me because I can use this statistical information against alcohol use and it more negative effects rather than marijuana negative effects. There is a lot more interesting statistical data I can use to show evidence of marijuana usage compared to alcohol use. Alcohol use compared to marijuana are a lot different alcohol in the long run is a lot worse for humans. Marijuana is a lot more laid back drug with no dependence.
