Do You Have a Kid in College?

Tweet

There's a new show on TV called 'Campus PD' on the Spike channel on Tuesday nights and as the title states, it's about the police who cover college campuses. A lot of kids at the age of 18 and away from home think there are no boundaries when it comes to the trouble they can get into. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, 48% of the students admit to binge drinking and in Carrolton, Georgia, $162 million dollars a year is spent on booze. I think the worst statistic was for Cincinnati, Ohio, where $1 Billion a year is spent on alcohol by students. DUI's, wrecks, assaults, rapes; all due to the drinking problem on campuses. Not to mention the health issues related to the large consumption of alcohol. It's one thing to 'escape' the family home and the rules therein; it's quite another to be a total idiot.
