College age booze-bingers average 9 drinks per binge session
So says the Center for Disease Control. Their study on binge-drinking, released today, trumpets this very concerning figure, though some vital context is missing; obviously, what type of alcohol is being consumed is going to play a role in just how dangerous this is. There isn’t really a type of alcoholic beverage you can consume nine times over that wouldn’t leave you blindingly or dangerously drunk, however, and as a public health issue this can’t be ignored.

Wait, 9 drinks is a lot to drink? Uh oh.

i mean, 9 drinks isn’t a tiny amount or anything, but if 9 is binge drinking, i’m fucked.

No no no, you guys, 9 drinks is binge drinking in COLLEGE, when you’re young and stupid and haven’t actually done anything with your life.
Once you get older and have a REASON to drink, there’s no more of these confining restrictions
