AV on Health: HBCU Binge Drinking

The perception is that college binge drinking is a "white college issue" and not really of concern at historically black colleges and universities (HBCU)...but the truth is binge drinking is problematic no matter the racial makeup of the student population. According to a study of student behavior by the Century Council, 54% of full-time HBCU students who drink engage in binge drinking, compared to 64% of students at predominately white schools. The difference is in the way the binge drinking occurs. On the next Another View on Health, we'll explore the dangers of binge drinking with guest host, cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby, and emergency room physician Dr. Clarence Clarke. Join us for the next Another View on Health, Friday, November 21 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM, or stream us live on this blog!
