“Binge” Drinking Drops
The percentage of U.S. adults age 18 and older who have consumed five or more alcoholic beverage drinks (beer, wine or distilled spirits -- liquor) in a single day at least once during the previous year has dropped.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the proportion of such “binge” drinkers dropped almost 10% between 1997 and 2003.
