What is binge drinking?
Binge drinking is a pattern of alcohol consumption that involves the rapid and excessive intake of alcoholic beverages within a short period, typically resulting in a significant increase in blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines binge drinking as a drinking pattern that brings a person's BAC to 0.08 percent or higher, which usually corresponds to consuming five or more alcoholic drinks for men and four or more drinks for women within about 2 hours.
Binge drinking is a risky behaviour that can lead to various short-term and long-term consequences. Some short-term consequences include impaired judgment, coordination, and decision-making, which can result in accidents, injuries, or risky behaviours such as unprotected sex or drunk driving. Binge drinking can also cause alcohol poisoning, a potentially life-threatening condition characterised by severe vomiting, unconsciousness, slow or irregular breathing, and even death.
Long-term consequences of binge drinking may include an increased risk of developing alcohol addiction, liver disease, heart problems, neurological damage, and mental health disorders. Moreover, repeated episodes of binge drinking can harm relationships, academic or work performance, and overall quality of life.
