College Binge Drinking Can Lead to Poorer Job Prospects

MONDAY, Oct. 9, 2017 β€” Frequent college binge drinking markedly lowers the chances of landing a full-time job upon graduation, a new study suggests. Examining alcohol consumption’s effect on first-time employment, researchers found drinking heavily six times a month cut the chances a new graduate would find a job by 10 percent. And each episode of binge-drinking in a given month lowered those odds by 1.4 percent. β€œThe study is important because it definitively shows how drinking impacts employment,” said study author Peter Bamberger.
