Guide to: Drugs & Alcohol: 

Alcohol:

• Although most people place drugs as more dangerous and more addictive than alcohol, this is not always the case.
• Alcohol and nights out are a huge part of college life, and it is important not to underestimate its danger.
• Try not to drink too much, and pace yourself. 
• If a friend is too drunk, it is always better to get them home safe and into bed, turned on their side. 

Drugs:

•  Drugs are the same as alcohol, and they should not be treated any differently.
• In college, the temptation is there to try drugs everywhere. For most people, you will see people use drugs for the first time. 
• It's best not to use drugs, but if you decide to, you need to be smart about it.
