Drinking and drug use on college campuses in the US is hardly what you could call breaking news. Examples of campus binge drinking and other forms of substance abuse aren't difficult to come by.

Cocaine can be legally bought in the US. No, not the powdery white nose candy from Colombia. This Cocaine is an energy drink available in 8.4 fluid ounce containers. Although there's not a trace of an illegal substance in it, it does manage to sock a bunch of caffeine into each serving. According to the president of the company which sells the stuff, the only way to get more caffeine per ounce is to have an espresso.
