Aug. 2, 2023 – Ethan Laugen, 24, is set to graduate from Augsburg and StepUP next year. When he first started at the nearby University of Minnesota, he said he considered drinking and partying integral to his college experience.
“The reason I chose the U of M is that I wanted sports teams to follow,” he said. “I wanted tailgates, I wanted Greek life, I wanted bars and I wanted house parties.”
But by his second year on campus, Laugen’s drinking had escalated from weekend partying to finishing cases of beer alone at home every night.
After his second hospital stay caused by binge drinking, Laugen’s parents convinced him to enter in-patient treatment at Hazelden Betty Ford.
