Excessive alcohol use includes binge drinking and heavy drinking. What are the differences between binge drinking and heavy drinking?
Binge drinking is defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism as a pattern of drinking that brings blood alcohol concentration levels to 0.08 g/dL. This typically occurs after four drinks for women and five drinks for men—in about two hours.
Heavy drinking is defined as 15 or more drinks per week for men, eight or more drinks per week for women, and any drinking by pregnant women or people under the minimum legal drinking age of 21 years.
