Data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. In 2015, a total of 17.1% of U.S. adults (37.4 million) reported an annual average of 53.1 binge-drinking episodes per binge drinker, at an average intensity of 7.0 drinks per binge episode, resulting in 17.5 billion total binge drinks, or 467.0 binge drinks per binge drinker. Although binge drinking was more common among young adults (aged 18–34 years), half of the total binge drinks were consumed by adults aged ≥35 years. Total binge drinks per binge drinker were substantially higher among those with lower educational levels and household incomes than among those with higher educational levels and household incomes.

"I went to visit Dr. Park to learn about substance abuse so I could learn how deal with a family member. The guidance from Dr. Charlie and Dr. Hy Gia Park, his wife, also a psychiatrist, was informational and invaluable. It was just not about substance abuse it was learning how to cope with other related issues. They have group sessions and in one I learned how to meditate which is a tool I will use throughout my life. This is a very professionally run practice."
