A member asked:
Are all binge drinkers alcoholics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: No, but if this behavior becomes more common with symptoms of withdrawal and/or cravings with disregard to consequences etc, thenit is consistent with alcohol dependency binge type. It is more common in young adults but can occur at any age.
