Please help me to find the main idea of the paragraph?!?

What is binge drinking? The NIAAA Advisory Council defines binge drinking as having several drinks in quick succession: five for males, four for females. The Council defines a “drink” as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. To help people understand the magnitude of the problem, the Center for Science in the Public Interest reported in 2005 that 44 percent of students at four-year colleges are binge drinkers. In fact, most of the alcohol consumed by college students is the result of binge drinking. To discourage binge drinking, college administrators have tried everything from limiting the availability of alcohol to banning it at athletic events, but without much success. Binge drinking is a serious problem on college campuses which has caused ual aults, injuries, and deaths. Its continuance as a problem compromises students’ achievement and puts their health and lives at risk.
