NY Times article entitled "Drinking Age Affects Bingeing, To A Point." This study finds that as the drinking age has gone up, binge drinking has gone down -- except in college students. For those individuals who do not attend college, binge drinking rates have gone down since the change to the drinking age of 21 in 1984. What do you think influences binge drinking in college students, and why would this be different than in other adults in that same age group? How might colleges prevent binge drinking in under-age students?
