It's not just Greeks...it's people in general. I actually heard a report on the way into work this morning about how widespread this issue is. Apparently even Europe is having a hard time with binge drinking, even though most European families teach their children about drinking in moderation from an early age. The report said that heavy drinking by age 15 was much more prevalent in Europe than in the US, which really surprised me.

Since this is been shown to be a problem in Europe where there are no Greeks (well, no social fraternities/sororities
), this seems to be more of a generational issue.
