College Binge Drinking

According to the definition, a college student or anyone for that matter is considered to be binge drinking if they consume five or more drinks in one sitting (www.floridatreatment.com). Personally, as a college student myself, I think it is a bit over rated. People were put here on this earth in control of their lives through the decisions that they make. A person should know his or her body and should be aware …

…them an alcoholic, which is a totally different ball game. To some extent, this type of behavior does hurt the body, but like I said, for a student who does this once or even twice a week, the damage is minimal. An alcoholic on the other hand who par takes in this action say 5 to six nights a week is doing far greater damage to him or herself and should be looked after and helped.
