Introduction/Binge Drinking


Alcohol can have many effects on your life. It can affect your life mentally, physically, and socially. Even though alcohol is legal in all fifty states, it is still a drug. Alcohol is a depressant drug that affects your brain and your body in many different ways. Some effects of alcohol are short term, while others are long term.
            Consuming alcohol in moderation is not bad. When people start to binge drink or when it becomes alcoholism, that’s when it becomes a problem. Alcohol can have many negative effects on your life and the lives of the people around you. It can affect your body, brain, and your social life.
            Binge drinking is defined as drinking alcoholic beverages with the primary intention of becoming intoxicated (drunk) by heavy consumption of alcohol over a short period of time. Alcoholism is defined as an addiction to the consumption of alcoholic liquor or, the mental illness or compulsive behavior resulting from alcohol dependency. Neither one of these things are good for you. Both of these things can bring on all of the physical, mental, and social effects of alcohol.
