When college and university campuses closed in spring 2020 due to the COVID‐19 pandemic, the amount of alcohol consumed by underage students decreased according to a new report in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. The report speculates that the decrease in underage drinking may be due to students moving back in with their parents, compared to the relative freedom for unsupervised activities when living on a college campus.
