Characteristics of colleges associated with higher than average binge drinking rate include: rural, residential, coed, not religious-affiliated, fraternities/sororities, higher family incomes, more heavily white, heavy in spectator sports. No one factor more than the others, but if you see most or all of these factors in a school, you can infer heavy alcohol use. (I actually don't know of a single exception.)

<p>Reviving this old thread, to ask if there is a comprehensive list of schools that rate their alcohol binge/abuse quotient? If people love to read the US News rankings, and people are concerned about the drinking culture on campus, then someone could make a buck with such a list - or have they already?</p>
<p>Flip side of the use of such ratings - if the truth about alcohol abuse were known, and serious students opted to avoid excessive partying (e.g. vomit on the bathroom floors every weekend, etc.) by enrolling elsewhere, and tuition revenue dropped, wouldn't the colleges do more to clamp down on it?</p>
