What good does it do to tell students that their beliefs about how much drinking and drugging goes on are actually misperceptions?
The survey results tell us that most students, 30 percent, believe that the social atmosphere at GVSU promotes alcohol use. Zero students very strongly disagree with that perception. Overall, only 36 percent disagree at all. So, it will take time for the majority, the non-using students, to begin to assert their influence and change the social atmosphere. For too long the minority, those who use alcohol and other drugs most heavily, have not realized that they are not representing most students when they tell war stories about their drinking and drugging. Again according to the survey, 49 percent of those students who drink most heavily report having been criticized for their drinking by their peers. These students represent only 3.711% of the undergraduate population: 89% dont drink like they do. Most students dont approve of their peers frequent and heavy drinking, and they need to make their voices heard.
