shinerbock appropriate name for the thread. And my favorite beer. 
All students at my school do a program in New Student Orientation called about "the optimal buzz" they teach you that if you're going to drink, you should go for the optimal buzz and then stop. And teach you how to calculate that by your body weight. Because you're going to have the most fun if you're not blacking out, vomiting, passing out, and making your friends take care of you and call EMS. I love the program, it's great for a few reasons:
1) it's realistic, in that it understands that people are going to drink no matter what, and doesn't just say DRINKING BAD!
2)It teaches responsible social drinking, and...
3)It does it in a way that appeals to students. It makes sense and sounds most fun to drink to the peak of your 'high' and not past that.

True, some what of a generalization. I should have said England was the Country that closed the Pubs from 2:00 to 4:00. But that has been changed as it seems that they binged beer before the Pubs closed for 2 Hours.
Maybe in the old days it was not called binge drinking but just partying?
I guess the definition of Bingeing is different to Me than to some. Bingeing is just swilling as Much Booze as one can in a short period of time while social drinking is sitting, dancing, playing pool etc. Just My take of course.
When the yoke of parental control is taken off, it can lead to going a little crazy for some. So, then who needs to be in control? Maybe The Greek Brotehrs/Sisters would/should take up the task.
As far as a designated Driver, it was usually an Active for more responsibility. What is sad, that when a group does try to do the right thing, there is always a situation as mentioned above that dashes the plan on the rocks.
