Drink during the week increases the risk of binge drinking

Two Canadian universities, after studying the habits of alcohol consumption than 11,000 Canadians stress the importance of evaluating the absorption frequency of these drinks to know the risk of excessive drinking.
The results show in particular that regular consumption, even moderate, multiplies the risk of abuse.

This Canadian study, on an unprecedented scale, focused on the habits of alcohol intake for 1 year from 11,000 people aged 18 to 76 years. The statistical analysis was an assessment of risks by cutting the amount and regularity of consumption.

The results are troubling, at least for the advocates of moderate and regular consumption. Indeed men from 18 to 24 years who reported boire5 to 7 times a week have seven times more likely to have a consumption per week. This over, defined as five or more drinks on one occasion, is still called "binge drinking" and can lead to addiction and its complications. This risk is further increased PAR4 in men drinking more than 25 years as frequently, and 3.7 above 50. Among women drinking at the same frequency, the risk is multiplied by 3 between 18 and 25, by 2 above.
