re: How do you define binge drinking?

I drank with the sole purpose of getting drunk practically every weekend (thurs-sun) from 15 till about 25 or 26. It was usually 6 or 7 cocktails with multiple shots thrown in over the course of the night. I sometimes puked(depending on how many shots and of what), I rarely blacked out, but it did happen from time to time. I passed out often.

I wouldn't consider this an alcoholic, at least not in New Orleans. It was just what you did with your friends in S.La.

I answered on another page. 5'8", 160. Not fat, little beer belly.

People function as alcoholics all the time. Holding a job (at the very least) isn't difficult at all for people who drink all the time, so long as they limit the drinking to after-hours.

I almost never feel bad the next day because I always down a ton of water at night. I'll drink however much I want to before then, though I usually never get too torn up. Just good and drunk, though.
