Who Drinks the Most Alcohol?

10. American college students participating in study-abroad programs drink twice as much as they did before going abroad.

"Participants more than doubled their drinking during study-abroad trips," according to the University of Washington psychologists behind this statistic. According to their research, where students study abroad affects how much more they'll swig. Those studying in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand increase their alcohol consumption to a greater extent than those studying elsewhere, as do students under age 21.
