If you're a first-year student, you've probably attended a campus party by now -- which means you've also probably witnessed some unhealthy drinking behaviors.
So what exactly is "binge drinking" anyway? According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, binge drinking is a pattern of drinking that brings a person's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above. This typically happens:
- When men consume 5 or more drinks in about 2 hours
- When women consume 4 or more drinks in about 2 hours
You don't need a college degree to know that binge drinking usually results in poor decision making.
Whatever your plans are for the weekend, just be smart about them. You got into college because you have a good brain, right? Right! So use it -- even, and perhaps most especially, outside of the classroom.
