Graduating from high school and going to university are exciting times in a young adults life. Finding your way around, fitting in and meeting new people are some of the first challenges. Another challenge is making appropriate choices when it comes to drinking.

 

According to the World Health Organization, 32% of undergraduates reported hazardous or harmful patterns of drinking on campus.

 

A 2004 Canadian Camps Survey which was conducted by the Center of Addition and Mental Health found that in the Atlantic provinces heavy and frequent drinking was slightly higher than the Canadian average. 22.5% vs. 11.7%, and 24.5% vs. 16.1% respectively.

 

At ANBL, we recognize that making good choices about the responsible consumption of alcohol starts with good information. We will continue to work with New Brunswick universities and colleges to deliver important information regarding the responsible use of beverage alcohol.
