Breaking Down Drinking Patterns in Georgia
Tuesday, May 19th, 2015
Georgia has lower rates of heavy drinking and binge drinking than the national average, a recently released study found.
The study, published last month in the American Journal of Public Health, found that just 6.9 percent of Georgians are heavy drinkers, versus a national rate of 8.2 percent. Heavy alcohol drinking is defined as exceeding an average of one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men over the past month.
