{Louisville, Kentucky}...The University of Louisville and University of Kentucky are teaming up with Beam Inc. and Brown-Forman Corp. in a stepped up campaign to curb alcohol abuse among students. Kentucky's two largest universities will share gifts from Beam Inc. and Brown-Forman totaling more than $600,000 over three years to boost ongoing efforts to prevent binge drinking. UofL Provost Shirley Willihnganz says nothing derails a college career faster than alcohol abuse, and, while partying is part of college life, binge drinking can lead to tragic consequences. UK Interim Provost Tim Tracy says students can play key roles in steering classmates away from alcohol abuse.
