Thursday night 'til Sunday morning

CNN: No surprises. Binge drinking is a solution to a difficult problem: specifically, fitting a week's worth of alcohol into three nights. The consequences of binge drinking are well known, but the consequences of not binge drinking include sleeping until noon on a day when classes start at 8 or 9. It's even more important to consolidate drinking on weekends in high school, because high school teachers are often nosy and will notice things like bloodshot eyes, frequent trips to the bathroom to vomit, and (if you stayed up really late drinking the night before), slurred speech and loss of fine motor control.
