Binge Drinking can cause some problems, such as forgetting class time and venue, miss submitting homework and writing journal very late. There is an article writer called Henry Wechsler wrote “Getting Serious about eradicating Binge Drinking” to analyzing why university students would like to drink a lot, and suggest some methods seems can control this issue. After reading this article, people can feel that the author is a very radical writer according to his paper.  This Author advised control should be started at high school level as “Another important point of intervention is at the high school level. Half of college binge drinkers start in high school.” (W.Henry 2007 P.22). As people know, people under 18 are not allowed to take any kind of alcohol drinks. Who he thinks he is that can control the issue if it can not be solved by government. On this same method, the author suggest freshman into a university campus should see those selected volunteer for first view. This is so wired, if university does not interfere student’s opinions about campus life at very beginning, why this author concerned about. There are no research indicated that do not let students contact with people who binge drinking will keep them free from binge-drinking. Student, in university are not only study the professional skill on major area, but also they should learn how to survive in society. There is no reason to lie to freshman how the campus supposed to be, and educator should always honest to students. Fancy author of that article believing notifying guardian will works. How old is he that still use this funny method. Author mentioned in his article that “Binge drinking has been so deeply entrenched for so long at colleges that it can not be expected to disappear overnight.” (W.Henry 2007 P.20) means he knew why Binge-Drinking exist in campus for such long time, there is no reason to cancel this very traditionally relax and communicate approach. If people looking for history, university campus binge-drinking operators include business elite, famous actor and even political VIP. Those people use drinking to relax, then to make it as a force to push themselves work harder than before, so that can make success in them area. This article are not use to support university should using laissez-faire for binge-drinking. However, it is use to notice university do not control student dinking, but limit what those drunk people can do in campus. This method would have better effect than those ways suggested by W. Henry.
