HealthDay (1/3, Thompson ) reported, “Socially awkward young adults are more prone to regularly binge drink, but they back off their boozing bouts as they become older and more secure.” New research “shows that young adults who are more self-conscious appear to binge drink more often.” But, “these same self-conscious people had lower rates of binge drinking as they grew older, researchers discovered in a psychological experiment.” The findings were published in Alcohol: Clinical and Experimental Research.
