Most youth experiment with alcohol, but the patterns and frequency of alcohol use in adolescence, particularly binge drinking patterns (BD), are associated with health-related consequences. BD is defined as consuming at least four/five alcoholic drinks on one single occasion (Wechsler and Nelson, 2001) and this behavior is sometimes referred to as “heavy episodic drinking” (Kuntsche et al., 2004)
