Best Answer

Binge drinking is where you drink large amounts of alcohol in a short space of time. Might as well say, that binge drinkers drink more than twice the recommended drink a day.

So basically binge drinking is the same as being an alcoholic but it doesn't last for ages and ages.

Hope it helped

When talking about binge drinking which describes the phrase in a row?

Does the family need treatment when an alcoholic goes into rehab?

Yes. Alcoholism is a family disease because everyone in the family is affected in some way by the actions of the alcoholic. Children may feel responsible because in their immature minds, they believe if they were better children, the alcoholic would not drink. Spouses may inadvertently promote the drinking without understanding how they could be doing it. Also, when an alcoholic goes into treatment the only thing that changes is the alcoholic. If the family dynamics don't change, the alcoholic is returning to the same toxic environment. While the family is not the cause of the drinking, a slippery slope exists giving the alcoholic an "excuse" to go back to drinking. It is important for the family to remember that they did not cause the alcoholic to drink, they cannot control the drinking and they cannot stop the alcoholic from drinking.

Do drinking straws concentrate alcohol in alcoholic drinks?

No. Alcohol does not care the method by which it is imbibed. It is not concentrated by drinking through straws. Assuming the same amount of alcohol is imbibed in the same amount of time through a straw as through regular drinking methods, the alcohol will not affect you differently in any way. Any difference in experience or in the degree to which one is drunk is purely psychological.

Can alcoholism in a parent give the child more of a chance to start drinking?

Yes and no. There is a genetic component to alcoholism that can be inherited by offspring. However, neither the parent nor the child will become an alcoholic if they never drink, and there is no certainty that the child will be more prone to alcoholism if they have an alcoholic parent -- although overall the odds are about 1 in 4. That said, parental example and conditions during upbringing may well influence a child of an alcoholic to drink. Being raised by an alcoholic parent guarantees that a child will have problematic emotional development, and many choose to ameliorate the symptoms in the same way the parent did. Others may become lifelong teetotalers, but if they eventually do drink have the same odds as any other child from an alcoholic family.
