Bingers

The topic of binge drinking is cropping up all over England at the moment and it has steadily become increasingly frequent. In fact, it's now more of a concern than ever.
The British Medical Assosciation has stated that "there is no concensus definition of binge drinking". However when coming to identifying or attempting to define binge drinking it is usuallu associated with these four facts:
(1) Drinking with the intention of getting drunk. Often mixing drinks
(2) Drinking to the point at which you lose control
(3) Drinking as much as possible in a short space of time
(4) Occassional, heavy drinking

Statistics now state that one in four adults are binge drinkers and the UK recently topped a poll of being Europes heaviest alcohol consumers. This page attempts to uncover the stories, the facts and highlight the implications of such behaviour. All without being the diary of an alcoholic. Welcome to bingers
