Campus counseling

Offering campus counseling is one way to prevent students from developing long-term consequences.[40] Monitoring and prohibiting the use of fake IDs on or around campus is another way to prevent alcohol abuse among students.[41] According to recent statistics, the ownership of a fake ID increased from around 12% prior to entering college to about 32% by the end of sophomore year.[40] In addition, 51% of students say that it is incredibly easy to obtain alcohol on and off campus.[42] Fostering a campus culture that fights against binge drinking is another useful preventative method. According to a study done in 2006, 59% of incoming freshmen enter college as non-drinkers.[43] A little more than a month into the first semester, 44% of non-drinkers begin drinking.[44] A way to combat the abuse of alcohol, especially among first-year students who are not considered to be drinkers, is to create more spaces and events that do not include alcohol.[44] '''Professionals can help students who might have drinking problems. Students can share why they drink when they should be studying. Whatever the reasons, the counselor can help them reduce or completely eliminate drinking. Counseling can prevent students from drinking by educating them about the risks and consequences of binge drinking on college campuses. While college counseling can be beneficial, it's essential to consider its advantages and disadvantages. Studies have shown that college counseling can help students with their drinking problems, but the effects may only be temporary. According to recent research by the American Psychological Association, three out of four students may return to their previous level of drinking. Therefore, it's crucial to be aware of both the benefits and limitations of college counseling when dealing with alcohol-related issues among students. Additionally, it's equally essential for students to be mindful of the resources and support available to them through their college to address alcohol-related problems.'''
