Alcohol, this intoxicating drink that can have devastating consequences on the lives of individuals, is also a real scourge for the academic success of students. A recent study conducted by Dr. Sylvain Buhendwa, a university professor in Goma, highlights the indisputable link between the abusive consumption of alcohol and the decline in academic performance of young university students.
According to the conclusions of this study, many brilliant students, entering university with glowing academic results, see their intellectual level decline over the years due to excessive alcohol consumption. These young people, influenced by bad company, find themselves trapped in a vicious circle where alcohol becomes an obstacle to their academic success.
The observation is alarming: students who obtained exceptional results in the first year suddenly find themselves in difficulty, with grades in free fall. Dr. Buhendwa rightly highlights this worrying reality and calls for collective awareness. He warns against the harmful effects of alcohol on intellectual abilities, recalling that excessive consumption of this substance can seriously compromise students’ academic careers.
It is essential that young university students become aware of the risks associated with excessive alcohol consumption and adopt a healthy and balanced lifestyle. By prioritizing sobriety and discipline, students will be able to optimize their academic performance and ensure their academic success.
Ultimately, this study highlights a major problem within universities: excessive alcohol consumption can be a real obstacle to student success. It is therefore imperative to raise awareness among young people and encourage them to make responsible choices to preserve their academic future.
