Protect Your College Student From Binge Drinking
Courtney Cantor was a freshman at the University of Michigan. On October 15, 1998, she attended a keg party at a campus fraternity house. Intoxicated and staggering, she took a cab to her dorm and climbed up a ladder to her loft bed. She fell through her dorm window to her death, six stories below. Courtney Cantor became one of about fifteen hundred college students per year whose deaths are linked to heavy drinking.
College drinking is the number one concern of parents who send their children away to school. It is also the biggest concern of college presidents and administrators.
