Study: College students find ways to drink safely

? Despite the anti-alcohol warnings and campaigns targeting college campuses, students still find ways to drink and they’ve developed ways to drink safely, researchers reported Friday.

While up to 80 percent of students drink, fewer than 13 percent say they’ve been injured or damaged property after drinking, researcher Michael Haines said in a study by the National Social Norms Resource Center.

The study, developed with data from more than 28,000 students at 44 colleges and universities, noted that about 73 percent of student drinkers protect themselves by using designated drivers, setting spending limits at bars, counting their drinks, going out in groups and trusting friends to speak up when someone is drinking too much.
