Binge drinking kills thousands, new study says | Fox News: A study released January 8 by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, reports that every day, six persons, mostly men, die in the United States due to alcohol poisoning. These deaths are directly related to binge drinking, the episodic consumption of large quantities of alcoholic beverages. The weekend bender, the three-day party, the endless spring break, all can result in a predictable rate of deaths, totaling an average of 2,220 per year.
