Data from the 1999 College Alcohol Study were used to examine how students define the term binge drinking, to determine how much binge drinking the students think exists on their campuses, and to analyze how students' estimates compare with aggregated self-reports of student drinking. The findings indicate that the median of the students' definitions of binge drinking is 6 drinks in a row for men and 5 for women, 1 drink higher than the definition used by researchers. Students' definitions of binge drinking vary with their own drinking levels, suggesting that dissenting views of the research definition may represent voices of the heaviest drinkers. At the median, students estimated that 35% of all students were binge drinkers. Half (47%) of the students underestimated the binge drinking rate at their school, 29% overestimated it, and 13% were accurate. Although programs designed to reduce the frequency or prevalence of binge drinking by emphasizing healthier norms would be most useful in addressing binge drinkers who overestimate drinking norms, this group includes only 13% of college students.
1999年高校酒精研究的数据被用于考察学生如何定义“狂饮”一词，确定学生认为其校园中存在多少狂饮行为，并分析学生的估计与学生饮酒综合自我报告之间的比较情况。研究结果表明，学生对狂饮的定义中值为男性连续饮用6杯酒，女性连续饮用5杯酒，比研究人员使用的定义高出1杯。学生对狂饮的定义因自身饮酒水平而异，这表明对研究定义的不同看法可能代表了饮酒量最大者的声音。按中值计算，学生估计所有学生中有35%是狂饮者。一半（47%）的学生低估了他们学校的狂饮率，29%的学生高估了，13%的学生估计准确。尽管通过强调更健康的规范来减少狂饮频率或流行率的项目对解决高估饮酒规范的狂饮者最为有用，但这一群体仅占大学生的13%。
