Binging might be on one end of the scale, but the numbers of folks that indulge on a daily basis has to be staggering. College kids do get a lot of attention and that's because they don't try to be discreet. One of my daughter's friends upon reaching 21, went out to celebrate her birthday and she drank so much...they had to rush her to the hospital...she had alcohol poisioning. And the girls that she shares an apartment near campus with celebrated their 21st birthday by stocking the fridge with bottles of alcohol and by purchasing a blender; for a straight month in the evenings after class they partied and mixed drinks. Now, I have a neighbor who rarely goes out...he's retired. However, a few times a week he takes a short trip to the 'ABC' store...when he returns the package gives him away... The more mature young adult and the senior adult may manage their drinking habits a bit more discreetly, but this lifestyle is embraced by both the young and the old; and it's way out of control.

I thought that once we graduated that the idea of binge drinking pretty much ended. I can't imagine getting wasted as an full fledged adult just from the idea of feeling so stinky in the morning!
