situation, which creates some overlap between social
drinking and binge drinking.

26. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism [NIAAA] defines binge drinking as a pattern
of drinking alcohol that brings blood alcohol
concentration to 0.08 grams percent or above.
 For the typical adult, this pattern corresponds to
consuming five or more drinks [men], or four or more
drinks [women], in about 2 hours.

(one to two drinks per day) tend to experience certain
health benefits.
However, it is not healthy to "save up" your drinks

drinking simply to obtain health benefits.

alcohol a day.

alcohol a day.

48 hours.
Many people who see themselves as "social drinkers" are at
risk of developing long-term health conditions because of
the amount they regularly drink.

32. When someone becomes dependent or addicted to alcohol,
they:
Develop a strong sense of compulsion to drink.
May drink shortly after waking to reduce feelings of alcohol

37. Responsible Drug Use
The concept of "responsible drug use" is that a person
can use drugs recreationally or otherwise with reduced or
eliminated risk of negatively affecting other aspects of one's
life or other people's lives.
Advocates of this philosophy point to the many well-known
artists and intellectuals who have used drugs,

user's daily life.
