BOSTON, July 14 (UPI) -- Heavy alcohol consumption, or binge drinking, among U.S. college students is tied to the college drinking culture, researchers said.
The Harvard School of Public Health College Alcohol Study -- a landmark study that surveyed more than 50,000 students at 120 colleges from 1993 to 2001 -- found heavy drinking behavior of students was more common in college environments that have a strong drinking culture.
