Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binge drinking is defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as consuming five or more drinks for men or four or more drinks for women in a row, within a two-hour period. Alcoholism, on the other hand, is a chronic disease characterized by a physical and psychological dependence on alcohol, and social drinking does not necessarily involve heavy or excessive consumption of alcohol. Risk-taking drinking is not a commonly used term and does not accurately describe this behavior.
