The peer reviewed journal I found most appealing focused on the policies enforced on public college campuses due to drinking heavily. Studies were conducted to oversea the similarity between binge drinking and Massachusetts’s new restrictions on alcohol use on public college campuses. 11 Massachusetts public colleges took part in the study. Students were asked to take a questionnaire, which determined the association between drinking heavily and related alcohol problems that developed from alcohol use. Also, deans of the colleges, along with enforcement officers, were given questioners to determine the relationship of the new alcohol policies and the use of enforcement. The new MBHE policy, which was implemented because of two alcohol related deaths on the states public college campuses, is shaped by the following elements: restricting alcohol to specific, supervised locations, requiring advance registration of all social events involving alcohol, restricting legal possession of alcohol to separate residence halls for students age 21 or older, providing alcohol education and prevention programs, establishing procedures for enforcement of all federal, state, local, and campus regulations, requiring that colleges work with neighboring cities and towns to enforce alcohol laws, implementing new sanctions on student violators, up to and including expulsion from the college, and providing parental notification of all alcohol policy violations by underage students.
