Finally, the research showed that while binge drinking practices have decreased among the larger population in the United States in recent years, there continues to be a high prevalence of binge drinking among college students that has created a great deal of concern among administrators, researchers and policymakers at all levels. The application of social bond theory to help explain this persistent prevalence among young people went a long way toward identifying those who were at most risk of binge drinking, but there remains a profound need for determining the best way to help these young people avoid the adverse outcomes that are known to be associated with binge drinking, including a wide range of health-related risks and institutionalization by becoming involved with the criminal justice system or by becoming a full-blown alcoholic.
