Female college students appear to be binge-drinking at least as often as their male counterparts and sometimes match them drink for drink, according to research published in the latest edition of the Irish Medical Journal.
The study, by UCC’s student health department, expressed concerns at the changing drinking behaviour of female students. It found that almost 45 per cent of students surveyed at UCC’s health centre went binge-drinking once a week. A binge was defined as at least four pints or a bottle of wine or its equivalent in a single sitting.
