CDC Report Shows Binge Drinking Common Among Young People
June 13, 2026
More than 25% of high school students and young adults between the ages of 18 and 34 reported binge drinking within the past month, according to a report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC defines binge drinking as consuming a large quantity of alcohol in a short period. Specific thresholds vary, but the behavior typically involves drinking several alcoholic beverages within a few hours.
The report did not explore potential causes for the prevalence of binge drinking among the target population. It also omits specific recommendations to address the issue, focusing instead on presenting the collected data.
