  • A government study published in 2007 found that nearly half of students with "mostly D�''s and F�''s" report binge drinking.
  • Among high school youth, over 8% of eighth graders, 16% of sophomores, and 24% of seniors report recent binge drinking (5+ alcoholic drinks on the same occasion).
  • New brain scan research shows that alcohol affects decision-making and judgment by reducing activity in the frontal lobes, where such functions reside; it appears that prior alcohol induced impaired function of these same brain areas leads to alcohol dependence, making it almost impossible for the person to exert conscious will over whether they can stop drinking or not in the absence of treatment.
  • College binge drinking rates were 31 percent lower, 33 percent compared to 48 percent, in seven states that had four or more laws targeting high volume sales of alcohol as opposed to states that did not.
