Idaho Blogs: ‘Binge Drinking’? PC Nonsense

Everyone’s heard of the term “binge drinking”, usually used in news articles about how this trend is “rapidly growing” in terms bordering on shock and amazement. I saw the term used in 3 separate articles yesterday, each acting as if it’s a brand new ill plaguing society. I’m sorry, but I went to college during the 80s, and I can certainly say that there was quite a high prevalence of “binge drinking” back then — except we didn’t call it “binging”, we called it “drinking to get drunk”, or just “drinking”/ Joel Kennedy , The Stupid Shall Be Punished.
