Study Links Alcohol and Absences

October 18, 2007 - 11:00pm
By Michael Stratford

For many students at Cornell and other schools across the country, the weekend starts on Thursday nights. This trend, known to some as “Thirsty Thursday,” has recently come under attack by college and university officials.

Prompted by pressure to reduce underage drinking and the results of a recent study, some schools are increasing the number of Friday morning classes in order to curb students’ Thursday night drinking habits.

At Cornell, 81 percent of Cornell undergraduates report taking Friday classes and about one in four students has missed class at some point because of alcohol or drug use, according to Deborah Lewis, alcohol projects coordinator at Gannett.
