Is there a connection between high school binge drinking and college binge drinking?
A. Yes. Very few high school binge drinkers stop binge drinking in college. More than half of all college binge drinkers first binged in high school. However, many students who did not binge in high school begin binge drinking in college. Some aspects of the college environment may promote binge drinking. Colleges should develop strategies to prevent this . . . some are doing so.
