Alcohol & Athletes: A Scientific Look at the Impact
of Alcohol Use on an Athlete
In the wake of national news involving college athletes
and high-risk behaviors, information surrounding the
real-life experience within collegiate sports is hazy.
College athletes drink at higher rates than their
non-athlete counterparts do. College and universities
are dealing with underage drinking daily, but drinking
amongst athletes presents specific problems - not
just problems with the use of alcohol and dependence,
but also problems with their performance as an athlete.
This National Electronic Seminar will focus on examining
the impact of alcohol use on the college athlete.
The speaker, John Underwood, will provide specific
science-based information on the impact of alcohol
use on the college athlete.
