"Those guidelines are three to four units of alcohol a day for men and two to three units for women. A unit is defined as half a pint of medium strength beer, a small glass of wine or a measure of spirits. "

Heh, so 3-4 pints = binge drinker :duh:

'The report said that Britons drink less overall than most of their neighbors, including the French, Germans, Spaniards and Dutch. The league table for total consumption was topped by Luxembourg followed by Ireland and Portugal.'

and how do they work this out?? if we binge drink more, which they reckon is 3 - 4 pints or whatever.. and these countries are higher than us on consumption, then surely they are drinking more than 4 a day for eg. which means THEY BINGE DRINK MORE!...
unless their givernments guidlines are and they reckon youre only binge drinking with 10

and ffs! come on lads, how can you let luxembourg drink more? theyre tiny ffs!

'Government minister Hazel Blears said Britons needed to change their drinking habits.


"We need to create a more civilized late-night culture," she told BBC Radio. "We've got to try to get into a culture where the whole of our entertainment isn't just about alcohol. '

shut up you boring bitch

I assume it's per capita or else luxembourg would be having some serious problems.

I thought binge drinking was drinking large amount of spirites in a short time.

So in other words, if you drink 1 beer, every 2 - 4 hourse for a 24 hour time span your not a binge drinker.

Yeah, I solved Britians drinking problem. Now they will just be a country of mad drunks 24/7, but they will not be binge drinkers.

Some New England States in the US require that liquor stores close at dusk. Though I fail to see how this stops people from getting wasted.

i come from the city with the most pubs in the world (29.7/sq mile), and binge drinking is our way of life, and if you don't like it, come visit us on a friday night and tell it to us yourself

Maybe we should think about regulating drinking hours and raising sin taxes on alcohol until binge drinking is at healthier levels.
