Alcohol abuse has been identified as a primary concern for college campuses for decades. Many negative consequences are associated with student alcohol abuse, all of which can impact a student's education and career¹.

Addressing alcohol abuse on college and university campuses requires a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that targets individual students, high-risk student groups and the campus and surrounding community as a whole. For alcohol abuse prevention resources and programming ideas click here.

The BACCHUS Network™ offers campaigns to help you address alcohol abuse on your campus:

• National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week Campaign (beginning in 2008, this campaign includes the impaired driving prevention campaign, to recognize the close connection between the two topics)
• Safe Spring Break Campaign

The BACCHUS Network™ has provided impaired driving prevention resources throughout our 30-year history. During this time, we have witnessed the incredible growth of campus impaired driving prevention activities and the decline in deaths due to alcohol-related crashes. However, the fight against impaired driving is not over.
