The legal age for drinking alcohol(酒精饮料) in the US is twenty-one. Underage drinking is not only a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol policies at American colleges and universities.

The United States has more than 17 million students in higher education. Each year, 1,700 of them aged 18 to 24 die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured because of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another student who has been drinking.

Now, many schools have begun to strengthen(加强)their rules and college officials are trying to prevent too much drinking. Some researchers have found that students who think heavy drinking is normal often think that other students really drink much.

At the University of Oklahoma, new policies came into effect after a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking too much at a party. Now alcohol is banned(禁止) from all university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. And they must provide for transportation to and from off-campus parties. Other new requirements include an alcohol educational program that first-year students take online.

The policies govern behavior on campus and off. With the first violation(违规), students pay

75 dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. They have to pay double if the behavior happens again. Those who violate a third time will have to be driven home for at least one term. The president of Oklahoma says the aim is not just to punish but to change the behavior and the culture at the university.
