Binge drinking
Binge drinking
This chapter explores the concept of binge drinking through a global lens. It will suggest that binge drinking is more than a measure of units within a period of time but a potential insight that binge drinking is a ‘continuum of harm’. We need to recognise that for some individuals and some ‘at-risk’ populations, we have identified that binge drinking can be the starting point for developing a severe and enduring dependence on alcohol. We also provide some ideas around assessment and brief interventions to support those who binge drink as a way of life.

Abstract
This chapter explores the concept of binge drinking through a global lens. It will suggest that binge drinking is more than a measure of units within a period of time but a potential insight that binge drinking is a ‘continuum of harm’. We need to recognise that for some individuals and some ‘at-risk’ populations, we have identified that binge drinking can be the starting point for developing a severe and enduring dependence on alcohol. We also provide some ideas around assessment and brief interventions to support those who binge drink as a way of life.
