A recent study found many moderate drinkers above age 30 actually end up binging on the weekend -- defined as five or more drinks in a row or within a short period of time. Here's why it may be a health problem.
You consider yourself a light-to-moderate drinker, having the occasional cocktail or glass of wine with dinner and only tossing back a few extra glasses of liquid refreshment at social gatherings on weekends. By most standards, you'd be right -- because drinking is typically tracked as an average over the week.
Drinkers who binged were about five times more likely to experience multiple alcohol problems, according to new research."This leaves many drinkers mistakenly assuming that a moderate average level of consumption is safe, regardless of drinking pattern," said Rudolf Moos, professor emeritus of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, in a statement.
"Alcohol use disorder is defined as compulsively using alcohol despite having negative consequences from your use, such as an impact on your relationships, your ability to function in your job or in whatever roles you have in your community," Dr. Sarah Wakeman, medical director of the Substance Use Disorders Initiative at Mass General Brigham told CNN in a prior interview.Be wary if you continue drinking despite negative impacts on your physical or mental health.
