Abstract
Binge drinking poses a growing concern, particularly among higher education students, with a notable impact on Black African students in China. This cross-sectional study employed the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) to survey 370 students aged 18 to 45 in a prominent Chinese educational institution. Results indicated that 18.5% refrained from alcohol, while 61% exhibited low-risk use, 18.5% displayed hazardous use, and 5% showed harmful use. Notably, 38% of low-risk students consumed more than two drinks on occasion, and 35% had more than six drinks in a single instance. Given the evident issue of alcohol misuse, it is imperative to implement educational interventions and legislative measures to control the availability of alcohol.
