'With the start of college right around the corner, there will be many high school students heading away from home for the first time and if they have been watching various advertisements on television or listening to war stories from older college students they might be considering it as an opportunity to binge drink.
Binge drinking is defined as consuming at least 5 drinks of alcohol in a row. If you have a daughter you might be thinking ‘no need to worry’. It is just an issue with boys. Well, there is very little difference when it comes to the sexes.
The rate of binge drinking is similar - 67% in boys and 61% in girls. Binge drinking can lead to risky behavior. Binge drinkers were more than 5 times as likely as non-drinkers to be sexually active, more than 18 times as likely to smoke cigarettes, and more than 4 times as likely to have been in a physical fight.'

binge drinking
Women or girls are also rapidly becoming more aggressive,thats what comes of competition between the sexes.The bigger problem is that girls have usually not so much body weight as boys,although they are catching up through obesity, and alcohol will therefore cause them more sickness and depression.Still ,they are past masters at that.
