* Age-adjusted mean of total binge drinks per adult who reported binge drinking was standardized to the projected 2000 U.S. Census population.

Total number of binge drinks was calculated by multiplying the frequency of binge drinking (i.e., total annual number of binge drinking episodes) by the binge drinking intensity (i.e., the largest number of drinks consumed by adults who reported binge drinking on any occasion) for each adult who reported binge drinking.

§ Including respondents aged 18–20 years who are under the legal drinking age.
