What Is Binge Drinking?
Binge drinking is defined as having 5 or more drinks on one occasion for men, or 4 or more drinks on one occasion for women. Indicators of binge drinking also include drinking more than intended, feeling unable to stop drinking or slow down, and having gaps in your memory after drinking.
Most people who binge drink don't have a severe alcohol use disorder, but this doesn't mean there’s no harm to your health and well-being. Binge drinking can lead to significant health effects, such as: liver damage, a compromised immune system, and even acute pancreatitis.
