It is shown in studies that 18% of men and 11% of women on any given day are drinking over what the government classifies as "too much" alcohol: 2 drinks for men, and 1 for women. Most Americans do not drink at all on every given day. 64% of men and 79% of women did not drink at all on the previous day in the survey but the percentage of heavy drinkers is still a problem. Drinking more than 4 drinks like some of these people do will lead to alcohol related problems. Among the men, those in their 30's drank the most, and for women in their 50's and 60's and this information shows that it is not just a problem amoung our college aged citizens but is an issue that needs adressing in all stages of life.
