Crime Prevention Tip: Everyone wants to have fun in college, during the summer, and throughout life in general. All too often, individuals associate "fun" with consuming alcohol. The pursuit of "fun" often leads to a desire to fit in with your peers. Peer pressure tends to lead to dangerous decisions. These dangerous decisions conflict with the pursuit of "fun."
