What qualifies as "binge drinking" to you?

5 is a low number to qualify as binge drinking, though I suppose a lot depends on one's tolerance. 5 drinks would have me passing out and throwing up for the entire next day while for many others, 5 barely makes a dent.


I disagree that there is more drinking on campuses today than 20 or 30 years ago. They just never took surveys back then and drunken college stupidity was not as well publicized. Those were the days before fraternity hazing became an issue so there was very little focus on college social life. People are just paying more attention to campus life now, so it's noticed.

5 drinks??? Thats a warmup for drinking, not a binge! I used to consider it a binge if I ended up in a different time zone than I started in. Or if my maritial state changed during the fun.
