So anyone that has been around the military knows that this is true. We Marines love to drink and boy do we drink.

Binge drinking and increased use of e-cigarettes among service members are two of the behavioral trends Defense Department officials need to address, according to researchers who analyzed the most recent DoD Health Related Behaviors Survey.

About one-third of the service personnel surveyed met the criteria indicating hazardous drinking and possible alcohol use disorder, with 30 percent reporting that they binge drank in the past month. Among Marines, that figure jumped to 42.6 percent.

Binge drinking is defined as more than five drinks for men or more than four for women in one sitting, according to the report, issued by Rand and based on a survey that was conducted from late 2015 to early 2016.

I am not a smoker, nor have I ever been, but aren't e-cigarettes better than regular cigarettes?

No not necessarily. They are still studying the full effects of those things.

Fair enough.  I am in no ways an expert.
