Binge drinking is when someone drinks a lot of alcohol in a short amount of time. For women, this means having 4 or more drinks in about 2 hours. For men, it's 5 or more drinks in the same timeframe.

Girls may only need 3 drinks, while boys may need 3 to 5 drinks depending on their age and size. This information helps us understand how alcohol affects our health and well-being.

Please do not glamorize binge drinking, especially with strong alcoholic beverages. Alcohol can have immediate and deadly effects, as well as long-lasting consequences. Read more here
