Who Drinks the Most Alcohol?

14. College students who are both athletes and members of fraternities or sororities drink over three times as much as college students who are neither athletes nor part of the Greek system.

A California State University study found that non-Greek, nonathletic students "typically consume less than two drinks when at a bar or party," while fraternity and sorority members typically consume an average of three drinks at bars and parties. Greek-affiliated athletes out-guzzle them all, knocking back an average of 6.5 drinks per session. "I was in the Greek system," Brownell says. "There was constant pressure to drink, and the people with the highest status in that system were the athletes. They were the ones manning the kegs."
