This study evaluates different formats of a brief intervention designed to be useful for students who are interested in learning more about alcohol and ways to reduce risks from drinking if they choose to do so. Whether you do or do not drink, your feedback and information are important to us, and we hope you will participate.

Li’l Britches says “Keep it safe!”

Experiment with drinking less and refusing drinks while still having fun.

Set your drinking limit before entering a social, drinking occasion. We recommend not exceeding a BAL of .05%.

Keep track of how much you drink.

Space your drinks. Alternate alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic beverages.

Drink for quality rather than quantity.

Avoid drinking games.

If you choose to drink, do it slowly.

You think alcohol makes you a better dancer... but you’re just drunk.

It may sound trivial, but did you know...

College students drink more than any other group in society, even more than people their own age who do not attend college.

The average college student spends more on alcohol than on books! Students spend over $5.5 billion a year on alcohol, which is much more that colleges spend on scholarships.

Alcohol advertisers seek "brand loyalty." If they can get freshmen to prefer their product, they may have regular buyers for 30 years. it's not surprising that they offer special bargains for college students!

Yet alcohol is associated with virtually every harm known on campuses. Abusive drinking is associated with almost all acts of violence, vandalism, date-rape, and most accidents. Drinking and driving are the leading cause of death among college students.
