Answer 1

Answer:

5 drinks for men and 4 drinks for women

Explanation:

Binge drinking can be seen as a usual situation when having fun with your friends or enjoying a social activity of any kind; however, it does not mean that the person who binge drinks is an alcoholic.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, binge drinking is considered when a man drinks 5 or more drinks and women 4 or more drinks in around 2 hours giving as a result an alcohol concentration of 0.08 grams or more.
