The first reason is that drinking can cause
academic failure. If students drink before
class or have headache from drinking too
much the night before, they will unable to
concentrate on their school work.
They will miss classes, fail exams, and miss
paper deadlines. This behavior could force
them to drop out of school. For example, last
semester, my friend X, who liked to party
every night, dropped out of school. He failed
English class twice and barely passed his
other classes. Therefore, his parents refused
to pay for his education any longer. Recently,
XY college did a study of student dropouts.
Out of ninety cases reported, 65 percent
dropped out because they had failing grades
due to too much drinking. Therefore, it is
true that drinking can break the college
