Answer to Question 1

Answer:
 Alcohol exacerbates the already high rate for suicide, crashes, and falls.
 Norms and traditions in college encourage dangerous patterns of alcohol use.
 University campuses are a target for alcohol advertising.
 Beer and other drink specials enable students to consume large amounts of alcohol cheaply.
 College students are particularly vulnerable to peer influences.
 College administrators often deny that alcohol problems exist on their campuses.
Steps to reduce risk include setting a limit for consumption, using a designated driver, and avoiding misperceptions regarding alcohol use.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Alcohol is theorized to increase suicide risk by causing an increase in the intensity of depressive thoughts; by lowering an individual's inhibitions to harm himself or herself; and by impairing an individual's ability to think through the future consequences of his or her actions.
