abstract="BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Examine the association between adolescent sport participation and extreme binge drinking (10 + drinks) among boys and girls. <br><br>METHODS: Secondary analysis of the nationally representative 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (n = 13,583). <br><br>RESULTS: Boys who participated on sport teams had the greatest odds of engaging in extreme binge drinking. <br><br>DISCUSSION AND 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. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: Greater prevention efforts should target multi-sport athletes because they are at greater risk for negative consequences of heavy drinking.
