For Students
Welcome to the Adapt Peer Education Program website. We hope to offer you information and resources for living a healthy lifestyle.
College students often have misperceptions about the amount of drinking going on around them. People frequently believe that everyone at college is drinking and everyone is comfortable with drinking.
However, these perceptions are not accurate. While some binge drink, many people at UND don't drink at all and others drink very moderately. And not everyone is comfortable with the amount of drinking at UND.
We at Adapt are not anti-alcohol; rather, we encourage those individuals who are inclined to use alcohol and who are of legal age to use alcohol in a low-risk, responsible manner. The information provided on this website will help you make informed choices if you do choose to drink.
What is low-risk drinking? It's as easy as 0, 1, 2, 3!
0, 1, 2, 3 -- UND's Responsible Drinking Guide
0 drinks if... you are driving, are on medication, haven't eaten, are in substance abuse recovery, suspect you may be pregnant, are under the age of 21, etc.
1 - no more than one drink per hour
2 - limit your drinking to no more than 2 times per week
3 - don't have more than 3 drinks in one day
** This is only a guide toward drinking alcohol in a manner that is likely to produce the fewest side effects. Your own personal health and body, as well as your life circumstances, genetic makeup, etc., may mean that this type of drinking is still not right for you. Consult a medical provider for more customized information.
