I have a friend who is a binge drinker and one drink does not constitute binge drinking at all. A binge drinker is someone who will drink alcohol for sometimes days or weeks straight without eating food most of the time. After the binge is over they are usually really sick and they sleep it off for a while, go about their normal routine. Then on a whim they start the process again. Sometimes you wont hear from binge drinkers for weeks or months at a time because of this problem.

Most dictionary definitions use words like “excessive” – “unrestrained” – “immoderate” or “uncontrolled” when describing “Binge” – one drink, no matter how strong, could hardly be considered binge drinking.

Binge drinking is drinking to excess. Not being able to stand up, vomiting, passing out. One strong drink isn’t binge drinking.

No, binge drinking is 10 or more standard drinks in one sitting (from memory)

binge drinking means that a person has consumed over the legal amount of alcohol.
