University Launches Campaign to Counter Misconceptions About Drinking The Ohio University Coalition Advocating Responsible Drinking Decisions will announce a new campaign during halftime of the Bobcats' basketball game against Marshall University at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Convocation Center. The campaign, called "Correcting Misperceptions," focuses on changing campus and community members' views about the prevalence of alcohol consumption among students. Coalition members say high-risk drinking -- having five or more drinks in a sitting -- isn't as widespread as students think. According to a 1999 survey of 1,000 undergraduate students, 63 percent said having five or more drinks in one night is dangerous. Other survey facts that shatter misconceptions: Seventy percent of students said they have not allowed drinking to interfere with their academic performance and 67 percent think drinking before having sex is dangerous. The survey was developed and results were analyzed by the Core Institute at Southern Illinois University. During Saturday's game, the coalition will award about a dozen prizes to students and community members who have accurately answered riddles regarding alcohol consumption that are posted throughout the community and being announced in local media. Students must be present to win. Answers to the questions can be e-mailed to ou02@hotmail.com For more information, please read the full text of this news release.
