This indicator shows the percent of public school students in grades 6-8 who reported drinking 5 or more alcoholic beverages, within a few hours of each other, at least once in the past 30 days.
Why is this important?
Excessive alcohol consumption is the third leading cause of preventable death in the United States and is a risk factor for many health and societal problems. Among adults, it can take the form of heavy drinking, binge drinking, or both. Underage drinking can also be considered a form of excessive drinking because it is both illegal and often involves consumption in quantities and settings that can lead to serious immediate and long-term consequences. People aged 12 to 20 years drink 11% of all alcohol consumed in the US. More than 90% of this alcohol is consumed in the form of binge drinks.
