Party or Binge Drinking

(skype: rpapers)
hi guys, 
Party to most of us can be a great event and a good way to bond socially, but to  the young it can turn out to be a disaster.. dont get me wrong

Partying with friends is the greatest feeling that  we colloge students long for.


Yesterday i fumbled upon this research article from the university of minnesota

FYI
What do we know about the relationship between alcohol use in high school and alcohol use in college?

A number of risk factors during a student's senior year in high school have been identified: (Schulenberg et al., 1996)

Risk factors for binge drinking:

  • male
  • White
  • lower GPA
  • conformity
  • higher levels of antisocial behavior
  • drinking to get drunk
  • drinking to cope
  • expecting future use of alcohol
  • quantity of time spent with friends

However, it's important to keep in mind that many young people consider college drinking normal and temporary. Consequently, we can't accurately predict significant increases or decreases in binge drinking during the college years and beyond.
