That'll kill you.
They should use beer instead.
It is possible to moderate your drinking, but not if your motivation is to “have a good time”. The good time, in this case, is always the next shot or beer away, and the more you drink the more judgement impaired you become. Strange that the left is calling it a “war on women” to warn them about alcohol abuse. I mean, I could understand it if it was a warning against marijuana or abortion.
I gave up binge drinking after college. Now, I just drink throughout the day until the bottle is empty.

Excellent points all. But a question needs to be asked. Why would anyone consider cautioning young women about behaviors which endanger their health to be a war on women? Why would someone consider taking actions to prevent rape to be anti-woman?
I submit that the primary driver behind this mentality is the abortion lobby. If women stop engaging in the behavior that fosters promiscuity and rape, they are much less likely to have an unwanted or inconvenient pregnancy.
I don’t know why murdering your own unborn child is considered a desirable liberty. But it seems to me that abortion is the ultimate war on women. The ability to conceive and bear a child is the defining quality of womanhood. Convincing our daughters that is an undesirable characteristic is the war on women. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Think about it.
You always know what liberals are doing because it is what they accuse their opponents of doing. When are conservatives going to figure this out and take corrective action?
Anything that recognizes that women are different from men men in any particular constitutes “war on women,” except when uttered by a certified Feminist Socialist.
A real man ought to be able to determine that a woman has had too much to drink and allow her blow her cookies on your couch.
I am not a college student or a women but I will relate my story that is very relevant to this posting.
Since I turned 60, I have been hit with two cases of acute pancreatitis and was hospitalized for a week in both cases to clear up the inflammation in my gut. I can assure you that acute pancreatitis is extremely painful and prolonged. The treatment is to not feed you any food or water for 5 days until the inflammation has passed.
The first thing my hospital doctors asked me in each case was how much alcohol I drank every day. I had not had a drop of alcohol for three decades and told them I didn’t drink. Of course, the doctors initially believed I was in denial and persisted in trying to get me to admit I was a heavy alcohol drinker. Why? Because over 95% of all cases of acute pancreatitis are due to binge drinking. Most patients with this problem are young college-age binge drinkers or adult alcoholics who go on binges. It wasn’t until my wife backed up my story that I was not a drinker, that they believed me. It turns out that a very small percentage of cases of acute pancreatitis are caused from passing gall stones and certain blood pressure medications. After ruling out the gallstones, it was decided that my blood pressure meds were the culprit.
So the reason for my story is that binge drinking is not just a social issue or some faux war on women. It can cause serious medical problems, as well.
Young people many times don’t consider the consequences of their actions and binge drinking is not good for anyone on many levels but the medical consequences can be severe.
