The binge drinking measure reflects the percent of the adult population that reports consuming more than 4 (women) or 5 (men) alcoholic beverages on a single occasion in the past 30 days. The definition of binge drinking for women changed from 5 drinks on an occasion to 4 drinks in 2006.
This measure was obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), a random-digit dial survey. BRFSS data are representative of the total non-institutionalized U.S. population over 18 years of age living in households with a land-line telephone. The estimates are based on seven years of data.
