Last year, alcohol consumption decreased again: 39.6 percent of students have ever drunk, 34.5 percent in the last year and 22 percent in the last month. If students drink, they still drink a lot: two-thirds of them have binged in the last month. Binge drinking is drinking 5 or more glasses in a short period of time. “So although the decrease in the number of alcohol users seems to be a positive development, we should be cautious in drawing conclusions,” according to Trimbos.
