If a young man who drinks and got in fights when he is in college needs to 'turn his life around'? That's like, 99% of dudes in college, fyi.
You're giving too high a percentage to those in college who drink and get in fights. I am sure the percentage of those in college who drink and get in fights in college is much lower than your state percentage.
Either way I have no qualms with anyone who drinks as long as they don't go as far as get drunk, get in fights etc. Those who do, need to turn their life around and get counseling.

The Student Perspective On College Drinking
small excerpt from article. click on article for more info.
Everybody Doesn’t Get Drunk
"Although a great deal of media attention has been focused on the problem of alcohol abuse in college, students pointed out that it would be erroneous to suggest that all college students drink or that all drink to get drunk. “I think one important thing to distinguish, is that even at the big parties, just because you’re there doesn’t necessarily mean you’re drinking,” said student 1. “A lot of times I go to our fraternity parties and don’t drink at all; I just go to hang out and I go to meet new people. You go to be social sometimes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to drink.”
