Problem drinking isn't due to marketing, and precedes modern marketing by ... millenia.

  It highly depends on the culture, also, there are cultures for which binge drinking is still seen as acceptable (for lack of a better word), especially if you're still bellow a certain age, i.e. "young". For example in Europe there's a certain divide between Northern (and technically some port of Central, from a latitude pov) Europe and its Southern parts, there's also a strong divide when it comes to how acceptable women getting shit-drunk during a night out is. The thing is that those Northern and Central European cultures are highly successful from an economic point of view, i.e. compared to other cultures, so whatever shitty thing they have with their culture of binge drinking is sort of hidden under the rug, instead of being put front and center and trying to fix it.
