Binge Drinking
Binge drinking is considered 5 or more drinks in one sitting. Do you agreee or disagree with this fact?
I ask because I just don't think that it is as straightforward as that anymore. I was in a Sociology study at my school a while back, and they asked the group a very simple question: How much do you drink?
Not one person could answer this. Instead we asked questions of our own. What day of the week? Beginning middle of end of the semester? Bar or party? Drinking beer, shots, drinks? What time of night? Weekend or weekday? Game weekend, holiday, etc.... You get the idea. I know that every person is different also, due to tolerance and body mass among other things, so is it fair to say that a guy who is 6'5 and 260lbs and a girl at 5'5 and 135 can both drink 5 drinks in one sitting and both be binge drinkers, even though it will affect them differently?
