Introduction
Alcoholism and binge drinking in colleges is one of the contemporary issues in many institutions of higher learning (Presley et al., 2002). Many of the students tend to feel that it is fashionable to hang out in groups to party and just drink; however, the students fail to take into consideration the many negative impacts of alcoholism (Wechsler et al., 1998). This brings society to ask many questions on the issue of binge drinking. What are the chances of an individual student becoming an alcoholic while in college? “How do drugs and alcohol get accessed in institutions of learning? Or even what is our government and college administrations doing to prevent the trend of binge drinking in colleges?
However, many initiatives have been introduced in trying to curb the menace and assist the alcoholics. For instance, the AA meeting program has been exclusively employed to address the issues of alcoholism in our colleges due to binge drinking. My research focuses on two phenomena: (1) binge drinking in colleges, and (2) impact of an AA meeting in colleges in addressing alcoholism and practices of the college administrations that affect the social welfare of drinking students. My research in these two areas exclusively contributes to works of literature on organization theory and institutional theory. Additionally, it has practical implications of college administrators and policy-making who would want to influence the enhancement of social values and morals in our institutions of learning.
