bilateral renal cortical necrosis following Binge Drinking
Alcohol and Alcoholism, 2012Co-Authors: Yeon Soon Jung, Ho Sik Shin, Moon Hyang Park, Joon Sung Park, Kiseok Jang, Chong Myung KangAbstract:Renal cortical necrosis (RCN) is a rare cause of acute kidney injury secondary to ischemic necrosis of the renal cortex. Acute tubular necrosis after Binge Drinking is usually attributed to volume depletion, idiosyncratic reaction to alcohol, rhabdomyolysis or a combination with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Binge Drinking itself as a cause of RCN has not yet been reported. We report a case of a 25-year-old Asian male who developed bilateral RCN following Binge Drinking.

Binge Drinking intensity: a comparison of two measures
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Marissa B. Esser, Robert D Brewer, Dafna Kanny, Timothy S NaimiAbstract:BACKGROUND: Binge Drinking (≥4 drinks for women; ≥5 drinks for men, per occasion) is responsible for more than half of the estimated 80,000 U.S. deaths annually and three-quarters of the $223.5 billion in costs in 2006. Binge Drinking prevalence is assessed more commonly than Binge Drinking intensity (i.e., number of drinks consumed per Binge episode). Risk of Binge Drinking-related harm increases with intensity, and thus it is important to monitor. The largest number of drinks consumed is assessed in health surveys, but its usefulness for assessing Binge intensity is unknown. PURPOSE: To assess the agreement between two potential measures of Binge Drinking intensity: the largest number of drinks consumed by Binge drinkers (maximum-drinks) and the total number of drinks consumed during their most recent Binge episode (drinks-per-Binge). METHODS: Data were analyzed from 7909 adult Binge drinkers from 14 states responding to the 2008 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Binge Drinking module. Mean and median drinks-per-Binge from that module were compared to mean and median maximum-drinks. Analyses were conducted in 2010-2011. RESULTS: Mean (8.2) and median (5.9) maximum-drinks were strongly correlated with mean (7.4) and median (5.4) drinks-per-Binge (r=0.57). These measures were also strongly correlated across most sociodemographic and Drinking categories overall and within states. CONCLUSIONS: The maximum-drinks consumed by Binge drinkers is a practical method for assessing Binge Drinking intensity and thus can be used to plan and evaluate Community Guide-recommended strategies for preventing Binge Drinking (e.g., increasing the price of alcoholic beverages and regulating alcohol outlet density).

Driving After Binge Drinking
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Timothy S Naimi, David E. Nelson, Robert D BrewerAbstract:Background Although Binge Drinking is strongly associated with alcohol-impaired driving, little is known about the prevalence of or risk factors for driving after Binge Drinking. Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of, and risk factors for, driving during or shortly after a specific Binge Drinking episode. Methods The data were analyzed in 2007 and 2008 from 14,085 adults from 13 states in 2003 and 14 states in 2004 who reported Binge Drinking and answered an additional series of questions about Binge Drinking behaviors as part of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey. Binge Drinking was defined as the consumption of five or more drinks during a Drinking occasion. Results Overall, 11.9% of Binge drinkers drove during or within 2 hours of their most recent Binge Drinking episode. Those Drinking in licensed establishments (bars, clubs, and restaurants) accounted for 54.3% of these driving episodes. Significant independent risk factors for driving after Binge Drinking included male gender (AOR=1.75); being aged 35–54 or ≥55 years compared to 18–34 years (AOR=1.58 and 2.37, respectively); and Drinking in bars or clubs compared to Drinking in the respondent's home (AOR=7.81). Drivers who drank most of their alcohol in licensed establishments consumed an average of 8.1 drinks, and 25.7% of them consumed ≥10 drinks. Conclusions Because Binge Drinking and subsequent driving were common in establishments licensed to sell alcohol, and because licensing is conditional on responsible beverage service practices (i.e., not selling to intoxicated people), efforts to prevent impaired driving should focus on enforcing responsible beverage service in licensed establishments.

Binge Drinking among u s active duty military personnel
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Mandy Stahre, Robert D Brewer, Vincent P Fonseca, Timothy S NaimiAbstract:Background Binge Drinking (Drinking on a single occasion ≥5 drinks for men or ≥4 drinks for women) is a common risk behavior among U.S. adults that is associated with many adverse health and social consequences. However, little is known about Binge Drinking among active-duty military personnel (ADMP). The objectives of this study were to quantify episodes of Binge Drinking, to characterize ADMP who Binge-drink, and to examine the relationship between Binge Drinking and related harms. Methods The prevalence of Binge Drinking and related harms was assessed from responses to the 2005 Department of Defense Survey of Health Related Behaviors Among Military Personnel ( n= 16,037), an anonymous, self-administered survey. The data were analyzed in 2007 after the release of the public-use data. Results In 2005, a total of 43.2% of ADMP reported past-month Binge Drinking, resulting in 29.7 episodes per person per year. In all, 67.1% of Binge episodes were reported by personnel aged 17–25 years (46.7% of ADMP), and 25.1% of these episodes were reported by underage youth (aged 17–20 years). Heavy drinkers (19.8% of ADMP) were responsible for 71.5% of the Binge-Drinking episodes and had the highest number of annual per-capita episodes of Binge Drinking (112.6 episodes). Compared to nonBinge drinkers, Binge drinkers were more likely to report alcohol-related harms, including job performance problems (AOR=6.5; 95% CI=4.65, 9.15); alcohol-impaired driving (AOR=4.9; 95% CI=3.68, 6.49); and criminal justice problems (AOR=6.2; 95% CI=4.00, 9.72). Conclusions Binge Drinking is common among ADMP and is strongly associated with adverse health and social consequences. Effective interventions (e.g., the enforcement and retainment of the minimum legal Drinking age) to prevent Binge Drinking should be implemented across the military and in conjunction with military communities to discourage Binge Drinking.

Binge Drinking and associated health risk behaviors among high school students
Pediatrics, 2007Co-Authors: Jacqueline W. Miller, Timothy S Naimi, Robert D Brewer, Sherry Everett JonesAbstract:OBJECTIVES. Underage Drinking contributes to the 3 leading causes of death (unintentional injury, homicide, and suicide) among persons aged 12 to 20 years. Most adverse health effects from underage Drinking stem from acute intoxication resulting from Binge Drinking. Although Binge Drinking, typically defined as consuming ≥5 drinks on an occasion, is a common pattern of alcohol consumption among youth, few population-based studies have focused specifically on the characteristics of underage Binge drinkers and their associated health risk behaviors. METHODS. We analyzed data on current Drinking, Binge Drinking, and other health risk behaviors from the 2003 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Prevalence estimates and 95% confidence intervals were calculated by using SAS and SUDAAN statistical software. Logistic regression was used to examine the associations between different patterns of alcohol consumption and health risk behaviors. RESULTS. Overall, 44.9% of high school students reported Drinking alcohol during the past 30 days (28.8% Binge drank and 16.1% drank alcohol but did not Binge drink). Although girls reported more current Drinking with no Binge Drinking, Binge-Drinking rates were similar among boys and girls. Binge-Drinking rates increased with age and school grade. Students who Binge drank were more likely than both nondrinkers and current drinkers who did not Binge to report poor school performance and involvement in other health risk behaviors such as riding with a driver who had been Drinking, being currently sexually active, smoking cigarettes or cigars, being a victim of dating violence, attempting suicide, and using illicit drugs. A strong dose-response relationship was found between the frequency of Binge Drinking and the prevalence of other health risk behaviors. CONCLUSIONS. Binge Drinking is the most common pattern of alcohol consumption among high school youth who drink alcohol and is strongly associated with a wide range of other health risk behaviors. Effective intervention strategies (eg, enforcement of the minimum legal Drinking age, screening and brief intervention, and increasing alcohol taxes) should be implemented to prevent underage alcohol consumption and adverse health and social consequences resulting from this behavior.

the state sets the rate the relationship among state specific college Binge Drinking state Binge Drinking rates and selected state alcohol control policies
American Journal of Public Health, 2005Co-Authors: Toben F Nelson, Robert D Brewer, Timothy S Naimi, Henry WechslerAbstract:Objectives. We assessed the relationship between college Binge Drinking, Binge Drinking in the general population, and selected alcohol control policies.Methods. We analyzed Binge Drinking rates from 2 national surveys, the Har-vard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Binge Drinking data were linked to a summary measure of 7 salient alcohol control policies and a rating of resources devoted to law enforcement.Results. State-level college and adult Binge Drinking rates were strongly correlated (Pearson correlation coefficient=0.43; P<.01). Attending college in states with the lowest Binge Drinking rates (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.41, 0.97) and presence of more stringent alcohol control policies (adjusted OR=0.57; 95% CI=0.33, 0.97) were independent predictors of student Binge Drinking, after adjusting for state law enforcement and individual-, college-, and state-le...

college students define Binge Drinking and estimate its prevalence results of a national survey
Journal of American College Health, 2000Co-Authors: Henry WechslerAbstract:Abstract Data from the 1999 College Alcohol Study were used to examine how students define the term Binge Drinking, to determine how much Binge Drinking the students think exists on their campuses, and to analyze how students' estimates compare with aggregated self-reports of student Drinking. The findings indicate that the median of the students' definitions of Binge Drinking is 6 drinks in a row for men and 5 for women, 1 drink higher than the definition used by researchers. Students' definitions of Binge Drinking vary with their own Drinking levels, suggesting that dissenting views of the research definition may represent voices of the heaviest drinkers. At the median, students estimated that 35% of all students were Binge drinkers. Half (47%) of the students underestimated the Binge Drinking rate at their school, 29% over-estimated it, and 13% were accurate. Although programs designed to reduce the frequency or prevalence of Binge Drinking by emphasizing healthier norms would be most useful in address...

correlates of college student Binge Drinking
American Journal of Public Health, 1995Co-Authors: Henry Wechsler, George W Dowdall, Andrea E Davenport, Sonia CastilloAbstract:OBJECTIVES. This study examines the individual correlates of college student Binge Drinking. METHODS. Questionnaires were completed by a representative national sample (n = 17,592) of students on 140 campuses in 1993. Binge Drinking was defined as five or more drinks per episode for men and as four or more drinks per episode for women. RESULTS. Overall, 44% of the students (50% of the men and 39% of the women) Binged. While demographic factors such as sex and race were significantly related to Binge Drinking, prior binging in high school was crucial, suggesting that for many students, Binge Drinking begins before college. The strongest predictors of college Binge Drinking were residence in a fraternity or sorority, adoption of a party-centered life-style, and engagement in other risky behaviors. CONCLUSIONS. Interventions must be targeted at high school Binge Drinking as well as at several characteristics of college life--most notably fraternity residence. Legal Drinking age fails to predict Binge drinkin...

Binge Drinking united states 2011
MMWR supplements, 2013Co-Authors: Dafna Kanny, Robert D Brewer, Hua LuAbstract:: During 2001-2005, excessive alcohol use accounted for an estimated average of 80,000 deaths and 2.3 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) in the United States each year, and an estimated $223.5 billion in economic costs in 2006. Binge Drinking, defined as consuming four or more alcoholic drinks on one or more occasions for women and five or more drinks on one or more occasions for men, was responsible for more than half of these deaths, two-thirds of the YPLL, and three quarters of the economic costs. Reducing the prevalence of Binge Drinking among adults is also a leading health indicator in Healthy People 2020 (objective SA-14.3).
