[quote=Anonymous]Wow! There are some real problems with how people here are interpreting that Fairfax County report findings. In fact, they themselves seem to be reporting things incorrectly. 97% of students have not had any binge drinking episodes [b]over the past two weeks[/b]. Binge drinking is defined as consuming five or more alcoholic drinks in a row in the past two weeks. Ninety-three percent of 12th graders report not binge drinking. (This time they aren't qualifying it with every two weeks. But given how few freshman drink compared to seniors, there's no way that this can be reconciled so that the 97% number is correct.) When you realize that they're lumping in freshman with seniors (and the info is only collected every two years) these numbers are not very informative. The poor quality of this report makes me question how accurately they gathered this data. [/quote]
