New phenomenon: Binge drinking

Also known under the names "bun Express," "acute alcohol intoxication," or even "Alcohol paroxysmal intermittent ...."

The binge drinking is a mode of consumption that is to absorb a large amount of alcohol in a short period of time, the main objective being to get drunk as quickly as possible ...
What are the origins of this mode of consumption?

The binge drinking comes from the Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian countries where it is considered a major public health problem, which is probably a perversion of the phenomenon of "happy hours" that allow drinking at half price for a limited time . Paradoxically, it is perhaps a consequence of the principle "drink or drive" when it's your turn not to drive when you drink (a lot).

In England, the government launched 14 October 2006 a national prevention campaign called "Know your limits" (Know your limits). It consists of radio and television spots and posters featuring drunk people who are victims of accidents, violence or rape. The goal is to educate young English on the consequences of inappropriate alcohol consumption by showing the consequences of their vulnerability.
