U.S. Adult Binge Drinkers Consume About 17.5 Billion Total Binge Drinks Annually


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.


"When I first came to Dr. Park, I was very reserved & I didn't know what to think, much less how this was all going to work out? Well, I've been with Dr. Park for close to 10 years now & I couldn't imagine where I would have been or be without him. He is without exception the best doctor I've ever had the privilege of seeing. Dr. Park not only listens, but he also understands, and he works with you to get through your problem. He doesn't condemn or judge you, not once has he ever belittled me, or any problem &/or situation I may have, he understands life & has a huge heart. I know he has truly made a great difference in my life, from my career to my family life, & more, he's shown, & given, me a great deal of guidance & clarity. I would absolutely 1000% recommend Dr. Park to anyone. Once you meet him it will be self-evident, I think he's truly one of a kind & I'm grateful..."
