Am I binge drinking weekly?
Hey everyone. I’m (M, 26) really confused reading what the definitions of binge drinking are, and peoples advice across reddit.
I’ve seen a lot of threads saying people drink 10-15 drinks on a weekend, asking if thats binge drinking. I’m assuming they’re talking about 10-15 glasses of whatever which would probably end up being a lot more alcohol, since most are more than 1 standard drink.
I like to drink maybe 3x 200-250ml cans/mini bottles of sparkling wine (typically prosecco) on a weekend once a week. Usually the wine is about 12% alcohol. Is this binge drinking and is it advisable to cut back to doing this less frequently?
I really love kicking back after a long week with a warm night in with some wine and it doesn’t impede with my every day life. I’m not looking to quit, rather just make sure I’m having a reasonable amount.
EDIT: after posting this I’ve just realised it equates to about 1 bottle of wine a week on one night
