Blog #11 - The Case

My case to support my topic would be to examine statistics about Rutgers students who have been binge drinking (from the alcohol studies library on Busch).

Questions I am looking for in my research may include:

- How many students at Rutgers have been binge drinking recently (within the last ten years)?

- Have any students become heavy drinkers when they entered college? If yes, why did this happen (why not in high school)? Have any students at Rutgers become addicted?

- Which students tended to drink more? Was there a particular group of people who did?

Another idea for my case would be to interview a faculty member at Rutgers from the 1980s, when the drinking age was 18. Questions I could ask would be:

- What was the environment like when students could drink on campus, like at the student center? Was it a party atmosphere?

- What was the behavior of the students? Was there a lot of drinking?

- Did professors drink with students? Was this ever a problem?
