title: Extreme binge drinking among adolescent athletes: A cause for concern?
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Examine the association between adolescent sport participation and extreme binge drinking (10 + drinks) among boys and girls.
  
  
  METHODS
  Secondary analysis of the nationally representative 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (n = 13,583).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Boys who participated on sport teams had the greatest odds of engaging in extreme binge drinking.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Despite the modest associations found among athletes, boys who participated on multiple sport teams had the greatest odds of engaging in extreme binge drinking.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Greater prevention efforts should target multi-sport athletes because they are at greater risk for negative consequences of heavy drinking.
