Howdy drugs boards users,
Usually Lady Jade moderates you guys but I am in here so you can help me in my reserach purposes.
I am Mariam (site staff member for almost five months now, so hello if we haven't made acquaintance yet.)
Basically I write on the site (summer sessions SOS content that were me) as well as producing Reach for the Sky articles for BSkyB.
I want you guys to tell me all about binge drinking.
If you do it, why do you do it? Do you get a buzz from it? What about your mates are they into it? Your parents even?
Has binge drinking ever got you into trouble with the law? police? got you into a fight, caused you to end up in hospital? Let me know.
Share your stories! I looking for someone who is 19 or under for a case study on binge drinking, so go on be a sport and send me your PM's on the subject then I can send you some more in-depth questions or contact you on moby's or whatevr. Want lots of replies when I return to work off of my hols in Venice next Thursday. Thankee! Mazza girl

I think the word is bandied around as a convenient lazy soundbite, a way of saying "aren't the youth of today out of control" etc. It's a political thing.
To me, a binge is when I used to go to free festivals/parties, take 3 or 4 E's washed down with 8 cans of lager, then neck a bottle of vodka in the morning, kip for a few hours, then do it all again.
Having said that though, when I go out to drink, I go out to get merry. Not to get totally falling down drunk, but I like the inhibition and feeling of release that getting a bit pissed gives me. And that takes me about 5 or more pints in a session (depending on the length of the session and how quick I'm drinking. Going out at 9ish to a pub with normal hours, I might drink 5ish. Starting early Sat afternoon and drinking all day, I'll drink a lot slower, but drink up to 10 pints).
:yes: i'll agree with that. 100%
