Young men remain alcohol marketers’ most overenthusiastic clients, judging by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. Analyzing data for the first three-quarters of 2007, it found 40 percent of men age 18-24 saying they’ve had five drinks or more in a single day at least once during the past year. Women that age were no slouches, either, as 24 percent reported at least one five-drink binge during that period.

The numbers are slightly lower for 25-44-year-olds (38 percent of men, 18 percent of women) and much lower for those age 45-64 (23 percent of men, 8 percent of women).
