CNN reports a new study found half of college students binge drink and 33% fit the description for drug abuse needing rehabilitation.
I knew that after my first two weeks in college!

Contrary to public opinion, CNN also reports that many continue alcoholic behavior after college as well.

The only reason college students are binge drinkers is because it's they're smart enough to do it on weekends so they won't be hungover in class the next day.

if you look at what they consider binge drinking you could be drinking pretty conservatively and still be counted as having binged

Exactly, five drinks is hardly anything especially if u drink on even a semi-regular basis. |
