Alcohol and Other Drugs
If you, or a friend, are struggling with alcohol or other drugs, we want you to know there are places you can go and people you can talk to. In the K-State community, there are education programs as well as support groups you can utilize to get the help you, or someone you know, may need.
Tips for social responsibility:
- Respect the right of an individual to choose not to drink
- Be aware of how alcohol affects you
- Drink plenty of water when consuming alcohol
- Make sure to eat something before you drink and during
- Make sure there is a designated drive & don’t let your friend(s) drive drunk
- Be mindful of where your friends are at all times
- Don’t leave your drink unattended or take a drink from a stranger

Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help other to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for AA membership; they are self-supporting through our own contributions. Check out the website for more information on meeting locations, times, and contact information. Their phone is answered 24 hours.
