Young adults are especially likely to binge drink and to drink heavily. Accordingto NESARC [National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions] data, about 46percent of young adults (12.4 million) engaged in drinking that exceeded the recommended dailylimits at least once in the past year, and 14.5 percent (3.9 million) had an average consumptionthat exceeded the recommended weekly limits.”4 Sadly the results are predictable, numerousstudies document that those who engage in heavy drinking, and in particular binge drinking, areseven to 10 times more likely than non-binge drinkers
