There are
many negative effects of binge drinking. Many of these effects are extremely well known. However, what is currently throwing health experts for a loop is that new
research findings are reporting that college students are linking binge
drinking with happiness.
This
research was found at Northeastern, a liberal arts college. Researches asked
students to fill out a survey on their drinking behaviors, and used pizza as an
incentive. Fifty-eight percent of students responded to the survey, or 1,595
undergraduate students.
The
research concluded that students were happier when binge drinking and were
happier than their non-binge drinking peers. It also found that happiness was
directly related to “status” with wealthy, white, male, heterosexual and/or
Greek-affiliated students being happier than lower status students. Also, it
found that lower status students or less wealthy, female, non-white,
homosexual, and/or non-Greek affiliated students – those who binge drink report
lower levels of social satisfaction that are compared to their high status counterparts.
Many
doctors are health experts are finding the link between binge drinking and
social happiness among both high and low status students to be “treacherous”.
