Binge_Drinking

Binge Drinking Binge drinking, everybody does it in college! Not true says Dr. Henry Wechsler of Harvard University.( Hanson, Binge Drinking) Binge drinking is described as an extended period of time in which a person repeatedly become intoxicated, usually two days, and gives up his or her usual activities and obligations in order to become intoxicated. It is the pairing of prolonged use and giving up of normal activities that defines the clinical definition of binge. Other researches say that binge can be defined as having one or more drinks over the course of an evening of eating and socializing. Now consider this, a man has two glasses of beer during a meal, and maybe sips 3 beers over a 2 to 3 hour period, the time of a normal sporting event. Now this would mark a normal Saturday night for some people. The man’s blood alcohol level would remain low, and he probably wouldn’t even feel the effects of the alcohol. Most would say no harm done; however he would be classified to some researchers as a binge drinker.
