"The weighted prevalence of binge and heavy drinking," respectively, among 388,327 adults aged ≥18 years in 2024, according to a study published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine -- Sociodemographic Disparities in Binge and Heavy Drinking Among U.S. Adults, 2024.

Binge drinking was most common among younger adults, males, non-Hispanic Whites, and unmarried adults. Heavy drinking peaked among adults aged 35–44 years and those with some college education. The adjusted odds of binge drinking were lower for adults aged ≥65 years (AOR=0.24, 95% CI=0.22, 0.27) and non-Hispanic Asians (AOR=0.43, 95% CI=0.37, 0.50) and higher for never-married adults (AOR=1.13, 95% CI=1.07, 1.19). For heavy drinking, higher odds were observed for never-married adults (AOR=1.12, 95% CI=1.03, 1.22), those aged 35–44 years (AOR=1.24, 95% CI=1.08, 1.43), and individuals with some college education (AOR=1.24, 95% CI=1.08, 1.43) or a high-school diploma (AOR=1.10, 95% CI=1.02, 1.19).
