Does it count as binge drinking if you don't just do it occasionally? Like say you did it nightly, instead of once a week. That's probably ok... <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt="" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->

I fall squarely into the occasional binge... <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

Oh I noticed another loophole.....

So if you get up and walk around (I presume going to the toilet to make room for more would be an example) between every 4 drinks, then technically you're not binging!

Or drink standing up.
