Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binge drinking is defined as consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short period of time, typically 4-5 drinks for women or 5-6 drinks for men within 2 hours. This is different from moderate drinking, which is defined as up to 1 drink per day for women and up to 2 drinks per day for men. "21 for 21" is not a commonly used term for heavy drinking during a short period of time. Light drinking, as described in option A, does not fit the scenario described in the question.
