What's Worse: Binge Drinking or Imbibing a Little Bit Every Day?

Indulging in a little binge now and then might be OK if you’re watching TV. But bingeing could be less casual and more dangerous when it comes to alcohol. Binge drinking is defined as a consumption pattern of typically five (or more) alcoholic drinks for men and four (or more) beverages for women in about two hours. It’s a surprisingly common practice in the U.S., where one in six adults has reported binge drinking every week. It can also be a harmful habit. But is it any more or less dangerous than daily drinking? Is it better to drink too much one day, or a little bit every day?
