When a lot of alcohol is consumed in one session.

Binge drinking is periodic drinking (on weekends, for instance) for the express purpose of getting drunk. It is a form of drug abuse, and often leads to further abuse and eventual addiction.

What is now being called 'binge drinking' has been going on for decades and is certainly not new. People just used to call it getting drunk. What is more common nowadays is the violence that accompanies drinking and this is what has brought it to prominence.

The reasons for for it could be debated forever and here are some views.

Lack of respect, including self respect, among the groups reposible.

Availability of alcohol

Peer pressure

Poor education and ignorance of the effects

Lack of effective treatment or punishment

There are many more and I sure other people will have different viewpoints

A binge is just having too much of something without really stopping to do much else. To binge drink means to drink a very large amount, usually in a fairly short period. Some people will go out for a night and keep on drinking maybe even continue into the next morning if your lucky enough to find an early house, they get really drunk and really sick. But once you get sick I find its actually a good thing as you feel alot better after vomitting. And you can continue to keep drinking!, (they measure how good a drinker they are by how many drinks they can have) not necessarily true as once the drink keeps coming that's the main thing. The reality is that a good drinker knows when not to stop. Everyone should try it at somestage, its very exciting and who knows were the night could take you ; so go out and give it ago!
