Beer has a significant presence in many social events that are held around the world. Beer Festivals, Pub Crawls, Drinking Games have lead to an increase of university students classified as heave alcohol users. However, American students out drink Canadian students and participate in binge drinking more often in university. Although Canadian's binge drink more on average when under the age of 19 largely to do with the higher drinking age in most states in the U.S. making fake id's less effect for those between the ages of 15-19. There is also a statistical discrepancy when comparing the two statistics.

Definition
//**Heave Alcohol Use**// Definitions based on most of the statistics covered.

**Canada**
The definition of heave alcohol use is having 5 or more drinks at one drinking occasion in the past 2 months.

**U.S.**
The definition of heave alcohol use is having 5 (4 if female) or more drinks at one drinking occasion in the past 30 days.
 * Which constrains the amount of people compared to the Canadian definition

Statistics
Warning statistics vary by study this represents an average of the statistics I found from 6 sources
 * 43% of American College Students participate in binge drinking
 * 36% of Canadian College/University Students participate in binge drinking
 * A Canadian who is not currently going to school but of the same average demographic of a typical college student is 32% more likely to participate in binge drinking.
