WHAT IS BINGE DRINKING?

DEFINITION:

The consumption of large amounts of alcohol in a very short period of time.

Rule of thumb:

Females – 4 or more drinks in a row

Males – 5 or more drinks in a row

Can cause alcohol poisoning which can be fatal.

Becomes even more deadly when combined with medications or other drugs, illness, stress, or an empty stomach.

SYMPTOMS OF ALCOHOL POISONING

Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol to the point of vomiting

Semi consciousness or unconsciousness

Cold, clammy, pale, or bluish skin

Slow breathing

Vomiting while sleeping or while unconscious

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

Never leave the person alone

Turn the person on his or her side and check their pulse and breathing periodically

GET HELP!

If unsure of what to do, it is “better to be safe than sorry”, take them to the emergency room – it could save their life

BLOOD ALCOHOL CONCENTRATION (BAC)

In most states, a BAC of .10% is considered legally drunk.

In some states, the legal definition of intoxication is .08%.

In the Army, a BAC ? .05% is considered to be impaired while on duty

On Ft. Hood, a BAC ? .04% is considered to be impaired while on duty

The faster someone drinks, the higher the BAC is, and the more dangerous drinking becomes.
