Thats very true. If I average under the weekly guidelines but hammer through the weekly guidelines in 90 min, it’s quite unhealthy.
Binge drinking is defined differently depending on the jurisdiction. Some require a time window (5 drinks per 2 hr window) and some require it to be a “session” (6 standard units in one session). Some refer to it as “high intensity drinking”. Psychology of Addictive Behavior lists five drinks consumed on one occasion at least once in a two-week period.
Personally, what I mean is that I don’t drink Sunday-Thursday, then Friday I’ll have 3-4 pints of heavy beer, a glass or two of wine, and maybe again on Saturday. On average that puts me over weekly guidelines and also hits some binge thresholds. It’s social, not trying to get excessively drunk. Regardless, it’s unhealthy - no amount of alcohol is. (Just for the people around me, right?)
I can go months without drinking if i have no time for the bar but then smash 10-15 in a few hours.
