Abstract	There is little research available on binge drinking among the Aboriginal population. Between March and June 2004, 15 Aboriginal persons participated in a semi-structured interview related to their binge drinking behaviors. The majority of participants were women and described a family history of alcoholism and childhood abuse. Factors that contributed to a reduction in binge drinking were often related to an acute event combined with gradual life changes. Supporting influences to remain sober included positive social support networks, role models, personal development, and cultural/spiritual practices. (Contains 1 footnote.) (Author).
