When you define "binge drinking" as "one drink per day", as defined in the study you found,

that doesn't seem to be the way they defined it. if you go to the site, it says:

# A binge drinker is defined as a person who drank five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least one day in the past 30 days.

# In 2000, almost 7 million persons aged 12 to 20 was a binge drinker; that is, about one in five persons under the legal drinking age was a binge drinker.

so what they are saying is that one in five teenagers gets drunk once a month. that is hardly shocking.
