hb20130726A study indicates older frequent binge drinkers are more likely to have sleep problems. At the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Sarah Canham looked at data on almost 5,000 people ages 55 and above:

“Frequent binge drinking – on an average of more than two days per week – is associated with increased odds of reporting at least one insomnia symptom.”
