Students
for a Safer Southside (SFSS) survey of nearly 500 students in May 2006
- 46 percent
reported drinking at least two to three times a month.
Of these, 65.3 percent reported having been drunk at least once per
month since the beginning of the academic year.
- 25.4
percent of all respondents reported drinking at least once a week.
- 54 students
(10.8%) reported that a fight or other disturbance occurred during
the party.
- The
most common source of alcohol for students is large grocery stores
(58%), closely followed by friends (52%) and parties (50%).
- Parties
are a top source for underage drinkers to acquire alcohol probably
due to the large number of unregulated parties on and around campus.
70% to 91% of students thought it was "very easy" or "easy"
for someone under 21 to obtain alcohol from parties, whether at apartments,
Greek houses, co-operative living situations or dormitories.
- The
only source of alcohol in which the majority of students thought it
was more "difficult" than "easy" to obtain alcohol
was bars. (SFSS Report 2006)
