Alcohol Violations Down, Drugs Up at Northeastern

January 07, 2008 04:12 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

Northeastern University has seen a decrease in alcohol violations, while simultaneously experiencing an increase in drug citations, the Northeastern News reports. Possible explanations: 1) a self-medication equilibrium, with more drinkers turning to meth and prescription meds, or 2) drinking habits are getting smarter, drug habits—not so much.

Meth is not the reason that kids aren't getting caught drinking more, trust me.

Meth is not the reason that there aren't as many drinking violations at Northeastern. It's illogical to presuppose without checking the facts that meth is an acceptable alternative to drinking, they're entirely different things. I go to Northeastern and meth is not a big problem, trust me.
