Binge drinking is a common pattern of excessive alcohol use in the United States. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines binge drinking as a pattern of drinking that brings a persons blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above. This typically happens when men consume 5 or more drinks, and when women consume 4 or more drinks, in about 2 hours.
In general, the risk of youth experiencing these problems is greater for those who binge drink than for those who do not binge drink.
The total number of alcohol ads on network, local and cable television was 289,381 in 2002, a 39% increase from 2001.
Alcoholism and problems with alcohol tends to run in families.
