Binge drinking is drinking heavily within a short period of time in order to get drunk.
Binge drinking is having twice the recommended daily limit (3-4 units for men; 2-3 units for women) or more than 5 drinks in a day.
Drinking large amounts of alcohol at one time, or very rapidly, can cause alcohol poisoning. In serious cases, alcohol poisoning can stop you breathing, stop your heart beating or cause you to choke when you vomit.
Binge drinking will affect your mood, memory and health. Alcohol makes it more likely that you will have an accident or a fall.
'Alcohol: Binge Drinking' is available to buy as part of our KS3/4 alcohol leaflets pack and KS3/4 alcohol posters pack. Visit our Literature store to find out more.
