囧研究：高收入人羣愛豪飲？

The classic image of a suit-clad executive throwing back a few scotches after (or during, if you're Don Draper) a day at the office may not be far off, according to new research.
西裝革履的管理人員結束辦公室裏一天的工作，去到酒吧裏喝上幾杯蘇格蘭威士忌（如果你是《廣告狂人》中的唐·德雷柏，那你工作時也可以流連酒吧），最新研究顯示，這樣的經典形象應該還會持續。

A new study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that binge drinking is more common among Americans with household incomes of $75,000 or more per year.
美國疾病控制和預防中心公佈的一項新的研究表明，在年收入75,000美元以上的美國人中，豪飲這一現象更爲普遍。

But the study also found that Americans with household incomes of less than $25,000 per year consume more drinks when they binge drink, averaging eight or nine drinks per binge.
但研究還發現，年收入少於25,000美元的美國人在豪飲時會喝下更多酒，平均8到9杯。

The CDC defines binge drinking as "consuming four or more drinks for women and five or more drinks for men on an occasion."
美國疾病控制預防中心將”豪飲“定義爲“女子一次喝下4杯酒以上或男子一次喝下5杯酒以上”。

援引美聯社：

Overall, about 1 in 6 U.S. adults surveyed said they had binged on alcohol at least once in the previous month, though it was more than 1 in 4 for those ages 18 to 34.
總體說來，在接受訪問的美國成年人中，有約六分之一承認他們上月至少有過一次豪飲。而年齡在18至34歲的受訪者有超過四分之一承認上月至少有過一次豪飲。

And that's likely an underestimate: Alcohol sales figures suggest people are buying a lot more alcohol than they say they are consuming. Health officials estimate that about half of the beer, wine and liquor consumed in the United States by adults each year is downed during binge drinking.
而這只是保守數據：銷售數據顯示人們購買酒類飲料的數量遠高於此。衛生官員估計，美國成年人在豪飲時消費的啤酒，葡萄酒和白酒佔到酒類飲料銷量一半。

The study from the CDC also says that binge drinking is more common in men and those who have attended college, according to the Associated Press.
據美聯社報道，疾病預防控制中心的研究還表明，在男性和受過高等教育的美國人中，豪飲這一現象更爲普遍。
