Answer to Question 2

Moderate alcohol drinkers have a reduction in risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke than either abstainers or heavy drinkers. Binge drinking is a type of drinking defined for men as consuming five or more drinks in a row and for women as consuming four or more drinks in a row within the past two weeks. Binge drinking is a major health problem in the U.S. Students between the ages of 17 and 23 are more likely than older students to binge drink. They are significantly more likely to binge drink if alcohol is readily available, if they are a member of a fraternity or sorority, or if they feel positively about what they are doing. Binge drinking can lead to driving under the influence and alcohol-related date rape. Programs designed to reduce binge drinking behavior focus on establishing a low tolerance for the antisocial behaviors associated with binge drinking; working with athletes, fraternities, and sororities; changing the expectations of incoming freshmen; and increasing the number of nonalcoholic activities available to students.
