This report came out today http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/01/10/cdc-report-binge-drinking-rates-in-us-alarming/
Binge drinking is getting your blood alcohol level over .08% or about 5 drinks per man/ 4 drinks per woman. http://www.cdc.gov/alcohol/fact-sheets/binge-drinking.htm
But their measure of a drink is very low.
12oz beer= 5oz wine= 1 jigger liquor= 1 drink.
So 2 fat whiskey doubles is binge drinking. With 16 oz wine glasses, a touch over half the glass is 2 drinks. A 12oz margarita is 2-4 drinks.
Literally EVERYONE that I know is a binge drinker.
Standard for "binge drinking" too low?
And, what does "implement proven measures" mean?
