College Drinking and Heart Problems

[Chris Phillips]

I found this article: College Drinking and Heart Problems - Fit Nation - TIME where it mentions drinking could cause increase risk of cardiovascular problems.

They classify "heavy drinking" as "...three or more alcoholic drinks at least three days a week or at least five drinks two days of the week."

Well if that is true, I was a extremely heavy drinker throughout college, because I used to drink at least 10 alcoholic drinks 3 days a week in college (Thrusday, Friday and Saturday). A buddy and I used to split a case of beer between the two of us, and we always finished it.

I would like to think my friends and I are not the only people who consumed this much alcohol.
