Alcohol Abuse

I grew up not knowing my father due to alcohol and drug abuse. Therefore I guess I just found this article to be un-fair and I don't think this article should just be centered on women, men also use and abuse alcohol.
I know the survey shows that alcohol consumption is most common among women between the ages of 26 and 34 however, I don't agree with this. I feel like over time the age is beginning to grow younger and younger. The drinking age is 21 in Wisconsin. However many teenagers now have access to alcohol and drugs. I know both alcohol and drugs were a problem in my high school and a problem here in Oshkosh. I feel like that age 26, is decreasing because of this. I do agree that binge drinking is a huge problem within the age groups of 18 to 25. I also agree that women will drink more when they are either separated or divorced, due to 'depression' and possible 'stress'.
After reading through the 'key findings', I will admit that shock and fear ran through my body. I think when women drink they tend to forget about the consequences. Things like liver damage, heart disease and different cancers are something women tend to over-look when they drink because they are more worried about having a good time and focused on 'loosening up'.
Due to their behavior when drinking it leads to a lot of violence, not only to themselves but others as well. Women have a higher risk, even when compared to men, to die in a car crash. When women drink heavily they put themselves at the risk of being sexually abused. This is true especially among college girls. 
This last part scares me the most, considering we are all here in college and drinking does occur. I guess I am just asking and reminding you guys of these issues so hopefully you continue or start to make better decisions when it comes to drugs and alcohol here at school and in the future.
