Binge drinking: Regularly drinking more than the lower risk guidelines is one of the criteria for binge drinking. 3-4 Units (= to 1.5 Pints of 4% Beer) is considered lower risk guidelines. >8 Units is typically seen with binge drinking. Typically alcohol dependent persons need to drink every day even 1st thing in the AM. Drinkline is a national alcohol helpline. # 800 917 8282. It's free & confidential.
