Some factors are culture, psychographic related behaviors, and other activities (Krzysztof 2). Some demographic factors are age below 21, male gender, initial years in a university, white race, residence on campus, fraternity membership and lower academic performance (Krzysztof 2). This evidence shows that binge drinking is a very widely spread problem among high school students, not just college students.

One major plus of having such enhancements is that many cannot seem to find any horrible long lasting affects of taking them. Again, it kind of seems like Adderall was made specifically for the college student. In contrast, even though there are no stereotypical long lasting affects you receive from other stimulant drugs, there are still a few cons of taking this medicine. One of these cons includes a development of a psychological dependence to the drug. For example, a student that had taken this drug throughout their college career and enjoyed the positive feedback they received from taking it may feel as if they cannot positively accomplish any tasks with out the help of this enhancement.
