binge drinking
so salon has an article on college binge drinking which i found interesting
it’s at:
http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2002/04/12/binge_drink/index.html
what i found particularly pointed was the author’s categorization of
campus drinking as either “heavy of none”. when the heavy leads to
increased levels of violence, death, and rape, as the cited study seems to
suggest, i’ll choose none every time. at least more people seem to be with me.
while the rate of binge drinkers has remained steady over the last 10 years,
the article indicates that the rate of abstainers has risen slightly. i’m
still of the oppinion that if one person in a group can’t drink responsibly,
then no one can.
