What counts as a standard alcoholic drink?<\/h3>\n
Many people are surprised to learn what counts as a drink. In the United States, a “standard” drink is any drink that contains about 0.6 fluid ounces or 14 grams of “pure” alcohol. Although the drinks pictured here are different sizes, each contains approximately the same amount of alcohol and counts as a single standard drink.<\/p>\n
Consequences of Irresponsible Drinking<\/h3>\n
Young college students who drink alcohol y are more likely to experience:<\/p>\n
\n- School problems, such as higher absence and poor or failing grades.<\/li>\n
- Social problems, such as fighting and lack of participation in youth activities.<\/li>\n
- Legal problems, such as arrest for driving or physically hurting someone while drunk.<\/li>\n
- Physical problems, such as hangovers or illnesses.<\/li>\n
- Unwanted, unplanned, and unprotected sexual activity.<\/li>\n
- Disruption of normal growth and sexual development.<\/li>\n
- Physical and sexual assault.<\/li>\n
- Higher risk for suicide and homicide.<\/li>\n
- Alcohol-related car crashes and other unintentional injuries, such as burns, falls, and drowning.<\/li>\n
- Memory problems.<\/li>\n
- Abuse of other drugs.<\/li>\n
- Changes in brain development that may have life-long effects.<\/li>\n
- Death from alcohol poisoning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In general, the risk of students experiencing these problems is greater for those who binge drink than for those who do not binge drink.<\/p>\n
