Binge Drinking — What Can Happen?

That’s Life: Advice by Susan DeAngelis at www.thatslifeadvice.com
Jay from Maryland asks, “Is it okay to binge drink at parties?”

What can happen when you binge drink?

Binge drinking, also known as heavy episodic drinking, is the massive consumption of alcohol in a short amount of time. An average person is said to have binged, when their blood alcohol concentration reads 0.08% or more. For the blood to reach this level males consume 5 or more drinks quickly, a female 4 drinks. This is known as the 5/4 rule. Height, weight, and other factors can alter this rule. Extreme drinking has been defined as the rapid consumption of 10 or more drinks for males and 8 for females.

Risks of Problem Drinking

Do you know the levels of risk with problem drinking?

Is it hard for you to tell when risky behavior becomes a problem?

They say that if you place a frog in a pot of water and begin to heat the pot, the frog will boil to death without even realizing it. Conversely, if you throw a frog into a pot of boiling water, the frog will make a quick exit. Now that I have sufficiently terrified my animal rights friends, let me place a much deeper context to the above metaphor.

When does drinking become a problem?

Messages of “enjoyable” drinking are all around us – the media: television, radio, and newspapers. It’s common for most social engagements to have alcohol available. It’s almost too common that many activities include alcohol. Too easily we become like the frog in the pot of water slowly coming to a boil. Before we know it, we’re at problem levels. How do we get a reality check on the water temperature before drinking is a problem?

www.lifeprinciples.com In 2005 I overcame my alcohol addiction and lost 20 pounds in four months. It feels like I have been reborn again. I now have a life thanks to you. I am a nurse. I come from the West Midlands. I have a history of alcohol abuse that started from my teenage years. Through the years I have tried various means to stop. My own self-determination which failed miserably. I tried Aquarius. Although they did help I was still not in control of my drinking, not at all and it was getting worse and worse. There came a point where I thought I was going to die because of drinking so much alcohol so I came here and I must say the results have been fantastic. I have had one treatment so far (90 minutes) and its been absolutely wonderful. I haven’t even thought about alcohol, I haven’t wanted to drink. I felt so much better about myself. I felt so much confident about myself that I won’t want another drink as long as I live. I went to my GP and I didn’t get any direct help from there. He said I could refer myself to other agencies which I did. I have a close friend who is an alcoholic who has been free for 29 years and he tried to give me some support. But I am afraid even with that support and even with that counselling I wasn’t able to control my drinking. I have had one session so far and in that time I haven’t wanted any alcohol at all, I haven’t even thought about it, I haven’t even carved. It’s fantastic. It’s given me a new lease of life.
