commentary reviews the controversy over use of the term
binge
drinking
to describe college student alcohol consumption, argues for
abandoning the term, and explains how doing so will help unify and reinvigorate
campus-based prevention work. Binge drinking has been defined for men as 5 or
more drinks in a row at least once in the previous 2 weeks and as 4 or more
drinks for women. There is no scientific basis for focusing on this measure to
the exclusion of other consumption measures; neither is there justification for
labeling such consumption
binge drinking,
which reinforces an
exaggerated view of student drinking. To build support for environmental
management strategies to reduce alcohol-related problems, campus officials
should avoid terminology that demonizes students and instead embrace the
responsible majority of college students as an essential part of the
solution. |
