What Is a Drink? A drink can come in many forms. It can be a shot of hard liquor or a mixed drink containing vodka, rum, tequila, gin, scotch, or some other liquor. It can also be wine, a wine cooler, beer, or malt liquor.
Recent studies show that 31% of students met criteria for a diagnosis of alcohol abuse and 6% for alcohol dependence in the past 12 months.
What is binge drinking? According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism binge drinking is defined as a pattern of alcohol consumption that brings the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to 0.08% or more. This pattern of drinking usually corresponds to 5 or more drinks on a single occasion for men or 4 or more drinks on a single occasion for women, generally within about 2 hours.
Alcohol use slows reaction time and impairs judgment and coordination, skills which are needed to drive a car safely. The more alcohol consumed, the greater the impairment.
