- D. Drinking heavily during college days make most students realize the harmful effects of alcoholic drinks. Discuss
Correct Answer: Drinking begins as a group activity and as students leave these groups, the habit of drinking is also left behind.
Explanation:
The passage only provides the information that students drink in school but seem to stop binging after they graduate. Option [A] is incorrect as there is no mention in the passage that students
are only males and that they graduate at thirty. Options [B] and [D] are incorrect because it is not mentioned so in the passage.

Hence, [C].
