NEW YORK (AP) - One in four men in New York City reported binge drinking in 2005, or having five or more drinks on one occasion during the previous month, city Health Department said in a report released Wednesday.
The statistics — the latest available — are contained in the agency's annual community health survey of 10,000 New Yorkers, who were randomly selected and interviewed by phone throughout 2005.
The survey found that men over the age of 18 were more than three times as likely as women to binge drink.
