Drinking on campus: undergraduate intoxication requiring emergency care

Article Abstract:

College student drinking may lead to the need for emergency room care. Over a two-year period, 44 students presented at the emergency room of a hospital located at a major university. This calculated to 3.9 per 1,000 students. Freshmen presented at the emergency room at a rate of 9.3 per 1,000 per year, although studies show freshmen do not drink more than other classes. Nearly half were women, although studies show women are less likely to binge drink. Twenty percent of the students had injuries from a fall and one required mechanical ventilation for breathing difficulties.
