Binge drinking is something like having 8 units in one night?

thats binge??

well im ins erious trouble

i'd have thought that a binge was more like 12 or maybe 14 units and upwards. depends a little bit on the person though, if you're a lightweight maybe it's 8.

I wouldn't class someone as a lightweight if it took you 8 units to get drunk. I think it's more like 3/4 units to get you drunk would class you as a lightweight.

Anyway it depends on your weight also, a 6'6" 14 stone man would be able to drink a lot more than a 5'7" 8 stone man wouldn't he?

confusing a pint with a unit might indicate that you're drunk at the moment? :thumbsup:

lol :blush:, more like I had just got up- I'll edit it

"shush"

lol imagine drinking at half ten, I have done it before (ages ago)and I did regret it!

i was apparently on booze britain when they filmed in sheff, i dont remember but apparently i walked pst camera outside crystal and waved and shouted, then dragged some man of...lol...my friend who spotted me watched it again on bravo +1 and taped it, was apparently me!! :)

I seriously hope you are exaggerating as that is enough to kill you several times over. If you drank 48 units in one night you would be dead.

nope...im not exhadurating...lol.

was the most drunk ever been...drank 10 double Jds in just one place in twenty mins lol...on top of wine. and a pitcher with 12 shots in....that i drank with a straw, the total came to that from what me and my friends could remember i had between us!! bad...i know.

I always thought binge drinking was when you didn't drink for a long time then went on "a binge" drinking to excess. Hic!

Nah, you can binge 7 nights in a week.

I'm fairly heavyweight (I think) - other night had nothing to eat all day then 6 double vodka and red bulls in the space of an hour (12 units?) and still felt sober relative to everyone else - sometimes I get tipsy off two drinks

Quite glad that I haven't had a serious (beyond 11am) hangover in months, and I almost always dont feel any effects in the morning, no matter how drunk I was the night before.

That's probably my average .........

You have to sober up to get a hangover ....

Yeah, but surely you should at some point get some form of hangover. The wost I seem to get is a bit of a dodgy feeling in my stomach, cured by a decent fried breakfast instantly...

I used to get them every time I drank, but I just don't now :)

I must say that I've hardly touched a drop since seeing 'Rain In My Heart' on TV last week (and I classify myself as a moderate imbiber). Has it had a similar effect on anyone else?

I used to feel a bit of an alien for not buying into the binge drinking craze. But now I see why and trust my judgement :hihi:


On a serious note, I have seen many lives wasted or wasting away with binge drinking. In my line of work, it is filled with a majority of people who want decent money to supplement there weekendly habits. It is a shame, because there are some geniunely decent and intelligent peoples who's lifes are being committed to a 16k a year wage just because they want weekends free.
