Would it be too risky to talk about alcohol in a college essay?

<p>My friend wrote an essay about alcohol. It shows how he has grown from his multiple experiences with alcohol, and it honestly shows inside the mind of a teen who struggled with peer pressure.
It's a very straightforward essay that clearly dictates that he drinks alcohol.
Would this be too risky to include in a college essay or would he have to tweak it so no incriminating evidence is involved??</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses!</p>

<p>I think it puts the adcoms in a somewhat awkward spot to have to deal blatantly with issues of lawbreaking. It’s the same reason you should untag yourself from Facebook photos where you’re shotgunning Coronas. I would tell “your friend” to seriously consider another topic idea.</p>
