Begriffsedfinition: Binge Drinking

Was ist Binge Drinking denn nun überhaupt?

„Binge Drinking“ wird als „Konsum von mindestens 5 Glas Alkohol pro Trinkgelegenheit“ definiert, wobei eine Glaseinheit mit 0,12 Liter Wein, 0,36 Liter Bier oder 0,04 Liter Spirituosen quantifiziert wurde, was dem Konsum von mindestens 0,6 Liter Wein, 1,8 Liter Bier oder 0,2 Liter Spirituosen über einen beliebig langen Zeitraum entspricht. Diese Definition liegt auch der großen europäischen Studie „European School Survey Project on Alcohol and other Drugs (ESPAD)“ zugrunde...

heavy drinking,which has been defined as a drinking occasion that includes consumption of at least 60g of alcohol, although other definitions (such as 5 or more ‘standard drinks’) have also been used.The US based National Institute of Alcohol and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines binge drinking as a pattern of drinking alcohol that brings the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.8g/L or above. For the typical adult, this pattern corresponds to consuming 70g alcohol or more (male) or 56g or more (female) in about two hours (NIAAA 2007).
