Binge drinking, traditionally viewed as a college issue, has now seen rates equalized among young adults and middle-aged individuals, with trends indicating a rise in high-intensity drinking.
Opposed to previous notions that binge drinking was mainly among younger generations, recent statistics show that middle-aged adults are increasingly indulging in high-intensity drinking, reflecting a shift in drinking habits.
As binge drinking levels shift, researchers are now focusing on high-intensity drinking, defined as women consuming eight or more drinks and men ten or more, which presents even greater health risks.
The original definition of binge drinking by Henry Wechsler highlighted significant risks tied to four or five drinks in two hours, but new research shows that high-intensity drinking presents even greater dangers to health.
