If someone binge drinks for a short period, let's say once a week for 3 years, will they have to be worried about long-term health consequences?

Toxic effects : Each person is unique, so it's difficult to predict the amount of damage that may result form 3 years of binge drinking. The best thing to do is stop. Chances are your body will heal itself.
