From the WAPO article this week re: a recent 2017 Tulane survey of sexual assault/drinking:

"Drinking is deeply ingrained in the campus culture, as it is at many schools. The study found that 43 percent of undergraduate men and 39 percent of undergraduate women drink three or more times a week.

When they do imbibe, many say they drink a lot: 16 percent of women and 39 percent of men report typically having seven or more drinks on those occasions. (President) Fitts said that, too, is an issue Tulane wants to address. He noted that fraternities and sororities recently stopped serving hard liquor at parties. “We’ve made a very concerted effort to reduce excessive drinking on the Tulane campus,” he said."
