College students who live in coed dorms are 2.5 more times more likely to binge drink than students in single-sex housing, according to a new study. The results were based on surveys of more than 500 students from five college campuses.
A news release on the study from Brigham Young University said that 42 percent of students in coed housing binge drink weekly. Eighteen percent of students in all-male or all-female situations binge weekly.
