ATHG's recent discussion of black DUIs prompts me to summarize an article in
my campus newspaper (Miami University Report, 26 Feb. 98, p. 6) concerning
the research of Miami's Reginald Fennell at eight historically black colleges.
"Sixteen percent of students at historically black colleges had five or more
drinks at one sitting (definition of binge drinking) in the previous 30 days.
In the CDS [Centers for Disease Control] survey, 39.5 percent of white students
reported binge drinking."  The article added that "Fennell's findings are
similar to racial differences found by the CDS in its recent National College
Health Risk Behavior Survey (NCHRBS) of 7,442 students."
