Alcohol/Drugs

Much of being in college has to deal with finding oneself and engaging in experimental, often dangerous behavior.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that marijuana – the most used illegal drug, causes individuals’ appetites to increase. That means increased calorie intake leading to additional weight.
