Drinking for many days in a row. Drinking five or more drinks in one sitting. Drinking to get drunk. A good way to risk getting injured, having unplanned sex, or getting involved in a fight.
Statistics show that it is very common.
Among college freshmen, over half the men and one-third of women are binge drinkers. It's also clear that binge drinking is often related to injury and death. Students who binge drink are twice as likely to die from injuries than non-bingers. Plan your drinking. Think about how much you want to drink before you drink.
