Wechsler said binge drinking can’t be generalized to the affiliation of a school, whether it is private or public, or its level of academic competition.
The study’s conclusion suggests “state-level alcohol control policies may help reduce binge drinking among college students and in the general population.”
Other CAS studies, which have focused on the particulars of each college, found that there is a wide variation between colleges in their levels of binge drinking, said Nelson.
Nelson said the CAS also found that binge drinking is due in large part to how much a “college facilitates this behavior,” mentioning the high number of alcohol-related illnesses among students following this fall’s Harvard-Yale game.
According to Nelson, future CAS studies will look at how the transition from high school to college affects individual students’ drinking behavior.
