      “Binge drinking”…

      Excerpt: *”By binge drinking, the FSO refers to the consumption of at least four glasses for women and five glasses for men on a single occasion. This phenomenon mainly affects teenagers and young adults.”*

      That’s not what the average person understands as binge drinking.

      Binge drinking according to Wikipedia:

      *”Binge drinking, or heavy episodic drinking, is drinking alcoholic beverages with an intention of becoming intoxicated by heavy consumption of alcohol over a short period of time…”*

      Granted the next sentence is: *”…but definitions (see below) vary considerably.”*

      Still an interesting article!

      I don’t think that’s exactly what the article says… Daily drinking is declining and binge drinking is increasing, but there aren’t more binge drinkers than daily drinkers

      I wouldn’t drink anything from that shelve – its “fast food” trash but alcohol.

      But I don’t mind going through 6 bottles of Gazzar’s finest French in 3-4 days.
