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.

I guess without the numbers, your discussion is a bit confusing. How many drinks did the people have that thought the 4-5 drinks was too low? Is the 4-5 drinks broken down into alcohol content (4-5 beers? 4-5 mixed drinks? 4-5 shots? 4-5 glasses of wine?) or does 4-5 delineate somethign else like length of time? I think it's important to know the reasoning behind the methodology before you announce the number is too low, too high, or just right.
