Binge drinking
Binge drinking refers to consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short period of time, usually with the intention of getting drunk. The specific amount of alcohol considered binge drinking can vary based on individual tolerance and regional definitions. In general, for adults, it is often considered to involve drinking five or more drinks for men and four or more drinks for women within a two-hour period.
Binge drinking is associated with several health risks, including alcohol poisoning, liver disease, heart problems and an increased risk of accidents and injuries. In addition, it can lead to social and behavioral consequences, such as impaired judgment, risky behavior and strained relationships. The term is often used in the context of public health discussions to draw attention to and raise awareness about the potential harmful effects of excessive alcohol consumption over a short period of time.
What are the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption?
Organs such as the stomach, liver, kidneys and brain suffer damage. In young people, brain development is disrupted and damaged.The risk of blackouts and alcohol poisoning is significant.
During a session of excessive alcohol consumption, blood pressure rises unnaturally quickly, and during the breakdown of alcohol by the liver it falls just as quickly. These large fluctuations in blood pressure increase the risk of a heart or cerebral infarction.
Young people who regularly drink excessive alcohol during their teenage years are four times more likely to become overweight before the age of 25.
