According to a study published monday, binge drinking is no longer just a stigma associated with teen drinking, College frat parties or a famous spring break beach party full of wasted Co-eds, binge drinking is now a growing problem for many older adults as well – “many overindulging in the drunken nectar a bit too much.”  

Wait Kids, Save a Drink For Grand Ma!

Researchers found that 23 percent of men between the ages of 50 and 64 admitted to binge drinking in the past month, as did approximately 9 percent of women. This data was compiled from a government survey of roughly 11,000 average, salt of the earth Americans ages 50 and up.

The findings published in The American Journal of Psychiatry, suggest that even though 45 percent of U.S. college students ages 18 and 24 reported a recent drinking binge, it also shines light on a growing problem – “Binge drinking is not just for youngters anymore – Adults are quickly joining the party as well!“  Further evidenced by the fact that more that 14 percent of men and 3 percent of women 65 and older also admitted to surrendering to the temptation of the bottle.

Initially as a meeting to address race relations, the meeting and it’s venue has quickly spurred a debate as to whether beer should be on the menue.

Since Alcohol use among youths has become a permanent fixture in the media, many argue “is it even wise to use an alcoholic component in such a meeting?” – surely it is not needed. This is the very same component that has Alocholics and many through out the recovery community up in arms.

Ironically, the alcoholic component injected into the meeting arose as a result of President Obama’s phone call to Sergeant Crowley, who unexpected took the call on his cell phone in a local police bar. It was later stated that “The idea of meeting for a beer seemed appropriate at the time.”

Now the world has inappropriately coined it the “Beer Summit”, leaving those with real alcohol and addiction problems filled with chagrin.

Many also argue that while the president is experiencing various sates of inebriation, desperately trying to stitch the wounds of his supposed “racial remarks”, many good American men and women are being killed over seas.
