當大學走進現代，也早已不是單純的`象牙塔了。許多大學生都存在狂喝濫飲的問題。下面，就此話題，小編給大家送上一篇英語口語對話練習，供大家參考。
bart:: there's a new resurgence in binge drinking (聚眾飲酒作樂)among american college students.
lisa: yes, i've head about it. so what?.
bart: unfortunately, college women are gaining ground on (追上，接近，逼近...) men for the title of campus drunk.(校園酒鬼的稱號)
lisa: really? drinking among college students has been going on for decades. why are women drinking more now?
bart: i don't know, but the percentage of college women drinking to get drunk has more than tripled over the past 15 years, says a new report from columbia university.
lisa: i guess that's really not that surprising. women are beginning to assert themselves more in every aspect of society.
bart: i know a lot of people are shrugging this off (對某事聽之任知，不予重視)as just a teenage rite of passage, but it's more serious than that. i read in usa today that alcohol is involved in 90% of all rapes, 80% of all vandalism (蓄意破壞公物或他人私有財產的行經)cases, 40% of all academic problems and 28% of all dropout (輟學)problems.
lisa: i have to admit, that is shocking! i never realized that booze (酒，痛飲)was so connected with crime.
bart: what's even worse is that as many as 360,000 of today's undergraduates ultimately will die from alcohol-related causes - more than will get advanced degrees.
lisa: that's downright (徹底地，十分地))depressing. i'll bet that fraternities (大學男生聯誼會)and sororities (大學女生聯誼會)have a lot to do with that.
bart: you're right. students in frats (fraternities 的縮寫)report drinking three times as much as the average student. also studies show that 25% of freshmen admit to binge drinking in comparison to 20% of seniors.
lisa: aren't there any campuses that are trying to do anything about this problem?
bart: yes, as a matter of fact, the university of maryland found that 30% of its students actually preferred alcohol-free social events. officials offered cash awards fro groups sponsoring the best alcohol-free party. hey, would you like something to drink.
lisa: yeah, just as long as it's doesn't have any alcohol, sugar or caffeine in it!
