Whether you are a first-year college student, a parent of a college student or returning to school after years in the workforce, alcohol is an on-campus issue you may have to deal with in some form or another. Below we answer some common alcohol-related questions you may have.

Should I be concerned about my college student partying too much?
You know your child better than we do, so if you think too much partying may become a problem, it is certainly a possibility. It is up to you to have a direct conversation with your child. Talk to them about being responsible, keeping up with their schoolwork and grades, and their options in certain situations. Let them know they can always come to you for advice. Will that ensure they won?t go out partying? Of course not. But it does open the lines of communication, and maybe treating your child like an adult will help them act like more of an adult.

How should I handle a situation if I am offered alcohol?
Only you can decide how to handle that situation and whether or not you should consume alcohol. However, you shouldn?t let your peers pressure you into doing anything you don?t want to do. Make your own decisions ? it?s your life, and others will respect you for it. You?re in college now ? only you can make your life decisions.

What should I do if an underage college student asks me to purchase them alcohol?
Should you buy an underage person alcohol? In a word, no. It is illegal and dangerous, and it could get you in very serious trouble. If an underage person that you have purchased alcohol for gets in an accident, it could end up that you are at least partially liable. Even if an underage student promises to help you with an assignment or help you understand a subject better in exchange for alcohol, say ?no.? There are other people who you can study with who won?t get you into trouble or make you question your decision-making skills or ethics.
