The 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that among high school students, during the past 30 days 24% binge drank.
According to the Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, a variety of prevention strategies have been implemented by colleges across the U.S. in an effort to reduce high-risk drinking and its consequences on college campuses, including programs that target freshmen, athletes, sorority and fraternity members, and students that violate college alcohol policies.
Heavy bouts of drinking can result in an individual experiencing a condition that is commonly referred to as a"hangover", which may include headache, nausea, shakiness, and sometimes vomiting. This condition is due partly to alcohol poisoning and partly to the body's reaction to withdrawal from alcohol. There is currently no effective cure for this condition beyond refraining from heavy alcohol consumption.
What is binge drinking? According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism binge drinking is defined as a pattern of alcohol consumption that brings the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to 0.08% or more. This pattern of drinking usually corresponds to 5 or more drinks on a single occasion for men or 4 or more drinks on a single occasion for women, generally within about 2 hours.
