Scientific Research Articles on Binge-Drinking, Cessation and more

Hello fellow KAT friends and users! Today being World Science Day I thought I would dig into my academic files for you guys! Here are some GREAT scientific research articles I came upon during my years at college. These articles helped me to understand a lot about myself and my behavior from a scientific and behavioral stand point. There are some articles on binge-drinking, stress and binge-drinking, smoking cessation (quitting), selection as a social process and pro-social behavior in relation to social class. The scientific method allows us to understand ourselves and overall behavior better. I really hope these articles help anyone looking to better themselves using science! Above all they are all good reads, GO SCIENCE!
