MONDAY, Oct. 9, 2017 — Frequent college binge drinking markedly lowers the chances of landing a full-time job upon graduation, a new study suggests.

And each episode of binge-drinking in a given month lowered those odds by 1.4 percent. “The study is important because it definitively shows how drinking impacts employment,” said study author Peter Bamberger.
