What are some of the negative consequences of binge drinking?
Students who engage in binge drinking are more likely to engage in a variety of impulsive risky behaviors (e.g., drunk driving, unplanned sexual activity, vandalism) and are at an increased risk for poor academic performance, alcohol dependence, and death. The statistics on the prevalence of these negative consequences are staggering (see http://www.collegedrinkingprevention.gov/facts/snapshot.aspx for statistics on the prevalence of these consequences).
