I believe the “drinking culture” is something prevalent in almost all colleges around the world, and something glamorized in society, this idea where you get to college party, drink, etc. Therefore I wouldn't necessarily say WVU has a substance abuse problem, but rather the portrayal in society of partying and drinking in college has caused colleges as a whole to have substance abuse problems. Also, with the label of being the number 1 party school, in many ways does encourage this problem. But I do believe the issue has more to do with perception, and what others view as social norms. I believe with the media’s portrayal of college, and partying, it usually involves drinking, and sometimes heavy drinking. This is usually what’s seen as a teenager
