I just have seen too many instances where alcohol consumption amongst young people has caused terrible tragedy.

Sometimes young people will drink an enormous amount of alcohol because they believe it's really cool and everybody's doing it, and so if you present them with real data that you've collected from the students on your campus, many times students find out, 'Hey you know what, they're really not drinking that much and I don't have to consume that much alcohol to be cool'.
