Excessive drinking has become one with the “college experience” for students and in hand has altered many lives. Students who are a part of the college campus drinking culture are at risk to encounter life threatening experiences due to binge drinking. Binge drinking can be defined as one consuming 4/5 drinks at least once in a two week span. After plenty of observations, I would say that this definition is consumer friendly. With that being said, I think it is safe to say that binge drinking is “normal” and is somewhat expected among college students. So I would assume since excessive drinking is so normal that one would also consider the consequences but as some of us know, that this is not always the case. Binge drinking can lead to impaired judgment and alcohol poisoning. Both can lead to life threatening experiences. Being on a campus that is known for working hard and playing hard, I have noticed that with excessive drinking comes impaired judgment. For instance I have seen students drink way too much and the more they drink, the more their motors skills decrease or their ability to make sound decisions decrease. Basic motor skills are affected due to the consumption of alcohol, especially if you are excessively drinking and this is because alcohol acts as a depressant on the central nervous system. One can lose muscle control, reaction time is impaired, and basic senses are affected as well, like vision and hearing, making someone less aware of danger and injury. That is why often times we see people who are highly intoxicated stumble and fall a lot or has to have people assist them when going from point A to point B. The more alcohol consumed, the more the signals from the brain to different parts of the body will fade away, which is why there is a loss of precision in motor skills. Following that is how impaired judgment can lead to some risky decision
