Many institutions are preparing incoming students for the realities of college life while balancing orientation planning, prevention initiatives, and limited staff time. At the same time, students often arrive with misconceptions about alcohol, drinking norms, BAC, party safety, and how alcohol affects the body.

Common misconceptions include:

  • Students often overestimate how much their peers drink.
  • Many don’t understand how BAC works or what influences impairment.
  • Party culture and social pressure can normalize risky drinking behaviors.
  • Students may not know where to turn for trusted information or campus support.
