“A college doesn’t exist in a vacuum,” he said, “but is affected by the levels of drinking and laws about drinking around it.”
The study’s results suggest that a college’s location does play a significant role in its level of binge drinking.
The CAS defines binge drinking as “a risky pattern of alcohol use” in which men consume five or more drinks in a row and women consume four or more.
The data shows that 36 percent of college students binge drink in states with low levels of adult binge drinking, compared to 53 percent in states with high levels.
States in the Northeast and the Midwest had the highest levels of both student and adult binge drinking.
