What qualifies as "binge drinking" to you?

RyanLanane · 11-26-2005

When I owned my bar I STARTED the night out splitting a liter of jager with a friend... So 1/2 liter every night to START, usually took 1/2 an hour or so to drink it..

I would say that alone qualifies as Binge drinking, not to mention the next 12-24 hours I would drink straight after that.. Real Binge drinkers know what a binge is, and it sure as hell isn't 5 drinks lol ...

My lil bro is in college, he has a partial scholorship for being editor at the paper, which is a full time job... he has a full course schedule, and he still finds time to party with his frat brothers.. When he drinks I am sure he drinks more than 5 beers within the first hour or two but he isn't a binge drinker, he is more of a social drinker who likes to let loose of built up tension by partying..

As said before here, study has alot of flaws.. As almost all drinking studies do/will have ...
