Just ask the founding Board Member of the Choom Gang.
As long as there has been high school there has been binge drinking.
It is now known that the human brain is still developing until age 25 and doctors can match mental deficiencies to age of first binge.
Wow. They ought to pass a law banning teen-agers drinking.

when was this? 1910?
10 drinks is “extreme binge drinking”? When I was in high school, that was called a “good party”.
Obama’s fault!
“extreme” “not uncommon”. Then it would appear to be the new normal, not so extreme after all.
Legalize alcohol and tax the hell out of it. I hear that would solve the problems!
The boys died in drunken car crashes. The girls got pregnant. Every class had a few dead & maimed boys & a few prego girls. The star football player of the day surprised me at a recent Homecoming by saying the team members often skipped lunch & chugged a 6-pack instead. Viewing the wrecked cars at the junkyard, looking for blood, was a common pastime. I was nearly in one of those cars one weekend.
The adults were no better. I recall a prominent woman of the day, drunk, sick & vomiting in the men's room at the Christmas dance. I helped clean her up. The stench of booze on the deacons passing the collection plate in church on Sunday morning was common. They set a poor example.
So, if the author is implying there is some new juvenile drinking epidemic, he must be awfully young & unaware of the past.
Wonder how much this startling bit of information cost me?

Government directed school lunch programs are enough to drive anyone to drink.
