Alcoholism

The first group to present in my class was the group who decided to give a presentation on underage drinking. It was a great opening to the group projects because it really grabbed the attention of the class. Howard is supposed to be a "dry campus" but I know plenty of people who know how to sneak alcohol in and I've even seen it done. I don't drink, but a lot of my friends do so this issue is very important to me. Just last weekend, my friend from Florida got blackout drunk (on Four Loko) and decided to drive. He ended up crashing his car and got picked up by the police. Overall, I think that the fact that drinking isn't allowed until a certain age, makes it seem like a forbidden fruit to a lot of people, so then they really want to try it.
