当大学走进现代，也早已不是单纯的`象牙塔了。许多大学生都存在狂喝滥饮的问题。下面，就此话题，小编给大家送上一篇英语口语对话练习，供大家参考。
bart:: there's a new resurgence in binge drinking (聚众饮酒作乐)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.(校园酒鬼的称号)
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 (对某事听之任知，不予重视)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 (蓄意破坏公物或他人私有财产的行经)cases, 40% of all academic problems and 28% of all dropout (辍学)problems.
lisa: i have to admit, that is shocking! i never realized that booze (酒，痛饮)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 (彻底地，十分地))depressing. i'll bet that fraternities (大学男生联谊会)and sororities (大学女生联谊会)have a lot to do with that.
bart: you're right. students in frats (fraternities 的缩写)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!
