Excessive drinking among the young has always been a problem, particularly on college campuses. But what has changed in recent years is a highly dangerous pattern of how young people are drinking. The most insidious is what has become know as "celebration" drinking, in which 21-year-olds down a succession of shots to match their age. At the time our program aired, four college students had died. Despite the efforts of colleges and parents since then, little has changed.
