According to a study conducted at the University of North Carolina, one reason that college students feel so much pressure to drink is "The false impression that underage drinking is common."

According to this study, students tend to think that drinking is a normal activity during their college years. Indeed, most of them believe it is expected of them, as part of their status as college students.

That is why they do not think of the consequences of drinking too much alcohol.

Many times, students feel the pressure to drink at parties just to feel they can belong to a group or fratermity. They want to be accepted and they wrongly think that drinking alcohol is the best way to be accepted by their "friends."
