Nursing homes may house more frequent binge drinkers than college dorms.

In addition to finding that binge drinking is bigger than previously thought, a CDC report shows that while most binge drinkers are college students, those who binge most often are over 65.


More than 50 percent of the consumed alcohol in the United States is drunk while binge drinking, researchers found. The report revealed other surprises:

  • The income bracket with the most binge drinkers is well off, with incomes over $75,000
  • The poorest income bracket (less than $25,000) drinks the most per binge
  • people who binge are not alcoholics
