So, the questions have been asked and the answers are in...what do students think of binge drinking?  As a college student myself I have had experiences with the topic at hand, but I was curious as to what other students thought of the definition of "binge drinking".  Most of the students I talked to said they had plenty of times when they would wake up in a state of regret--regretting things they did after drinking too much.  However, none felt that experience after consuming the four-to-five drinks definition of binge drinking the scientific community holds to.  The health risks are the basis for the definition of binge drinking,but,  the number still seems low.

Project 3 Overview (Post 2)

So for my project on informative writing I chose to write about binge drinking on college campuses (namely the University of Rhode Island).  I wanted to see if the scientific definition of "binge drinking" was similar to that of what students defined it as.  Starting with that as a base, I then wanted to see not only the health effects of "binge-ing" when it comes to alcohol consumption but also the indirect issues such as grade decline and things of that nature.  What I was wondering was what everybody here (I guess those reading this blog) defined binge drinking as.  (I will withhold what the general scientific consensus is for the purpose of seeing what people think).
