Penn State bust put focus on cocaine but on most campuses the big risk is alcohol

A recent drug bust at Penn State has spotlighted cocaine use among students, but studies reveal that alcohol remains the more significant risk factor for young adults on college campuses. While cocaine use is declining, excessive drinking continues to lead to severe health issues, accidents, and even fatalities. This incident underscores the need for more comprehensive campus policies focusing on alcohol education and prevention rather than just drug enforcement. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for developing effective strategies to protect student well-being.
