Chewing the Fat: Measuring Every Chug

Categories: Chewing the Fat

Gotta wonder if the folks at the Centers for Disease Control will come out with a list of top party schools now. A new study released by the organization says the typical American binge drinker is a white male, aged 18-34.

No kidding. The news comes courtesy of Drugs.com. They note that the CDC defined "binge drinking" as five or more drinks per session.

One finding that sounds self-fulfilling: College grads binge less than those with "some" college. Seems drop-outs probably partied too hard. As for journalism students, it's tough to know if any were surveyed, but anecdotal evidence suggests this would artificially distort the findings.

If binge drinking is five drinks and more per session, then most American bars, as well as the world's bars, are laiden with binge drinkers...

I really think the numbers are skewed by the CDC. Sort of reminds me of Sunday school, and not one student could admit they committed any sins that week. Well, I must be the world's biggest sinner then...

I am in a country where alcohol is strickly forbidden, (KSA) and most everyone here has at least four or five cocktails,usually per night.

In a country that glamourizes drinking, (USA) and people purchase a case or two of beer for themselves for one weekend... come on America, or should I say CDC..?? What gives..? Are we really living in a cartoon existance..? and Bill Clinton did not inhale nor have sex with THAT woman...

Someone said, "The Truth Shall Set You Free." I think it's time to tell the truth...

Enjoyed the story Daniel. I read your stuff in the middle-east and print it off for the locals here to read too. You have a middle-eastern following.. thanks and keep up the good stuff.
