Binge Drinking

Binge drinking has become a very important problem in the United States. It is mostly being done at college universities. Binge drinking is defined as 8 to 10 drinks of alcohol in a row. In reality many students tend to consider binge drinking to be 4 to 5 alcohol drinks in a row. Many people argue that the real definition measurement it set way too high for both men and women. Many policy officials, students, and administrators ignore this problem because they argue that no one is drinking that many alcohol drinks in a row. Instead of looking at the issue and all the problems it is causing such as violence and  theft they are looking at the definition and ignoring the problem. Maybe if we change the name or find a new name people will look at this problem differently. Or maybe people can become aware of the bad effects of binge drinking and try to change it. All we need is awareness and willingness to change.
