Secondary binge
effects surprise
researchers
By Draeger \Iartinez
Staff Writer ' - , '
. Few would expresssurprise
to leam that yesterday's Super
Bowl festivities provided the ra¬
tionale for alcohol consumption
at apartments and houses all
over town. But people across
the nation are surprised at re¬
cent findings about the preva¬
lence and side effects of binge
drinking at American colleges.
A recent study from the
Harvard Schqol of Public Hjglth,
appearing,jn the Journal ofthe
American Medical Association/.
contains the first scientifically
reliable national survey on binge
drinking on campus.

consumption of five or more
drinks in a row for mery or four

women, on one or more occa¬

Conducted among 17,592
students in 140 schools across
the nation, the Harvard study
documents the prevalence of un¬
dergraduate drinking, tallying
a sobering 44 percent of students
surveyed as binge drinkers.
Only 15 percent of students
responded that they never drink.
Also, the researchers found that
87 percent of college students
suffered from "secondary binge
effects" that were caused by the
binge drinking of others, rang¬

nience to property damage and
sexual assault.
"The discovery of second¬
hand binge effects uncovers a

Study Advisory Bbard. 'Non-
