The University of Wisconsin-Madison is toughening up on alcohol abuse. Students who’ve previously been ticketed for excessive drinking will now have to pass a breathalyzer test at the entrance, or not see the game. Six students landing in alcohol detox with lethal levels of alcohol in their system was the motivation. Unfortunately, these kids are going into detox only long enough to sober up, no real full detox to get it out of their systems, and no alcohol rehab.

Wisconsin is number three in the Top Ten Party Schools list. Here’s the brief description from pubclub.com: “It’s a beautiful campus right on a lake with a weekly Thursday night outdoor student bash. Then there’s State Street, with enough fun bars to warm the soul – even on those chilly fall Saturdays.”

Kids whose parents talk to them about the dangers of drugs and alcohol are 50 percent less likely to turn into alcoholics. So, if you live in Wisconsin and UW-M is likely to be your kids’ college choice, it’s more important than ever to start that education early.

The pubclub’s motto for party colleges is “Win or Loose, We Booze.” With that much boozing going on, it’s likely that your kid’s first stop after college will be a drug and alcohol rehab program instead of their first move into their career.
