SEX, DRUGS, AND ALCOHOL DURING COLLEGE LIFE

Think about it deliberately, before you take action. 

Want to know how to make your life safer when it comes to sex, drugs, and alcohol when you go to college? 

Here’s a list of things where you can be aware of: 

1. DRINKING: We are all still young and we make mistakes. When you are not clear enough on how to control our drinking abilities nor what IS our drinking level, then think about before how you are going to “give it a try” on going to clubs and bars:

• Make sure that you always stick with your glass and never leave it behind 

• Always keep eye contact on what the bartender puts in your alcohol drink

• Don’t get too hungover when you start to get dizzy 

• When you think you get are getting too drunk, call a friend or a taxi to give you a ride home NEVER drive on your own when you are not sober 

• If you’re not a strong alcoholic person, learn about the different types of “glass” you would get for a drink for example: shots, vodka, wine glasses etc. 

Something About Binge Drinking: 
You probably have not experienced with it yet, but when you do, you better watch out for binge drinking:

Here's a specific idea about how binge drinking happens "especially in students" often:

"Previous studies have found that binge drinking among adults aged 40 to 60 is tied to a raised risk for stroke, sudden cardiac death and heart attack, but the effect in younger groups had not been investigated.

Binge drinking rates are highest among students at college and young adults aged 18 to 25 years, Phillips and colleagues write in their background information. On college campuses it is estimated that more than half of students binge drink on a regular basis."

So if you're not a heavy drinker, make sure that you control your drinking habits or else you might go toxic! 

2. DRUGS: You are aware that drugs are sometimes can’t be that helpful for you right? 

To make sure you are aware of what types of drugs you never you might take:


STIMULANTS: 

• Ecstasy 
• Cocaine
• Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine (Also called “Crystal Meth” or just “Meth)  

DEPRESSANTS:

• Marijuana 
• Cigarettes: Contains nicotine and stimulates your brain. Well you know that in your college years, you would definitely see a lot of people smoking but note this: if someone offers you a cigarette, think before you make your actions. Would you wanna smoke or not, especially if you are a fresh fish of that kind of drug. 
• Heroin 
• Tranquilizers 

HALLUCINOGENS:

• LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) 
• Ketamine
• Nitrous Oxide

3.. SEX: College life can go crazy sometimes, so crazy that you don’t even know what might happen next by the time you get drunk and pass out. And til’ the next day, you realized you  are lying down in some dirty couch and have no clothes on while you’re sleeping right next to a boy/girl partner. Yeah that’s right, jackpot. If this type of issue happened, how would you react to it? (Not like how the boys would say: Niceeee. WRONG.)

So first thing to always be aware is that: 

• AGAIN, be aware of what you’re drinking and sense any moment if you’re getting drunk. 
• Always hang around the people you know so they can take you home, you wouldn’t want a stranger to take you out somewhere else do you? 
• Anybody (especially boys) should bring/wear a condom. At least it helps give you guys safe-sex protection
• Lastly, as I mentioned, wear a condom to avoid STD's or any sexual transmitted disease. Please. 

Another point is that since we are getting older to understand how to control our sexuality actions, always find a way to control your sexual stimulation. If your gone abstinence, well good for you then? If you’re the type of person that can’t control it, then you have to at least go talk to someone or look for a doctor.
