Statistics tell you nothing. It's not new.
Though i probably could be classed as one on a Monday night out mind....mmm student night
Could do worse than that though.
Any talk of units etc is bollocks becasue it effects people so differently anyway...........
Statistics are useful as long as they are used properly, technically this is not a case of bad stats, but of bad definition..........
Which makes it a totally meaningless term because thats what people drink the stuff for, if it wasnt an intoxicant people wouldnt drink it.
I like having a pint although it doesn't make me drunk........
But then whats 'drunk' all these terms mean something different to different people.
I count being drunk as being intoxicated, it doesnt matter what wording you use be it just 'merry' or 'blasted' you are intoxicated, therefore by the wierd logic of the term you are a binge drinker.
That one pint might not make you sloppy drunk, but would you really drink it so often if it had no alcohol?
I go down the pub and will have a pint although I know that I will fell no alcoholic effect, simply because I like that pint.......
At the weekend however I will have 10 pints and know that will make me drunk, and that is binge drinking...........
