Binge Drinker
Binge drinking is the modern definition of
drinking alcoholic beverages with the primary intention of
becoming intoxicated by heavy consumption of alcohol over a short
period of time. Or alternatively, a consistent amount of
alcohol over a long period of time. It is a kind of purposeful
drinking style that is popular in several countries worldwide, and
overlaps somewhat with social drinking since it is often done
in groups. However, it is also done alone as a method of self
medication. The exact degree of intoxication, however, varies
between and within various cultures that engage in this practice.
Formerly, most countries defined the term as a multi-day heavy
drinking session during which the drinker neglects usual
responsibilities and otherwise behaves recklessly.In Russia, many
people often still define it this way.
Just because you ‘only’ binge drink does not necessarily mean
that you are safe from addiction. Addiction manifests itself in
many ways, including reckless binges. If your life has been
inadvertently affected by your alcohol use, then we advise you to
contact us for an informal assessment.
Alternatively, fill out one of our online
assessments as honestly as possible, it may be the wake up
call you need.
