binge drinking than students in the South. Compared to students in large MSA areas, students in non-MSA (ie, more rural) areas had greater odds of engaging in 15+ extreme binge drinking. High school grades and college plans did not predict binge drinking at any threshold in multivariate analyses. For all binge levels, cutting school for more days, spending more evenings out with friends, and perceiving that more friends get drunk predicted greater odds of binge drinking. Disapproving and perceiving greater risk of 5+ binge drinking predicted lower odds in all cases. Finally, past month cigarette and marijuana users were more likely to report binge drinking at all levels.
