 What

is Binge Drinking?
For teenagers, alcohol is not less than a drug that
devastates their rest of the life. Statistics of U.S.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration reveal that in America alone, 4,750 kids
below 15 years of age take their first drink. Instead of
knowing that alcohol consumption is illegal and
understanding its severe consequences, they do it
secretively. Experiments have explicitly stated that such
teenagers under 15 are 5 times more likely to fall prey
of alcohol consumption in contrast to adults. Another
drastic outcome of tasting alcohol at this age is that
they consume far more alcohol than adults over shorter
period of time. This stage is referred as Binge Drinking.
