CountArach - the PM's a complete nonce. Binge drinking is when the whites of your eyes are red, you can't speak straight or stand straight, you're no longer yourself. You are no longer human. This can't be measured by how much a person drinks as it differs from person to person. And i should know, my many night shifts have exposed me to these kinds of people.

As for me, my alcohol consumption consists of drinking whenever i have it. So if i find a bottle of vodka under my bed at 9am, no one's home and i'm not doing anything for the rest of the day, i'll crack it open and enjoy. If i'm out for the night, well, for me going out is one of those special things that happen every few weeks, so it's an excuse to just drink heavily, usually a whole load of whisky, followed by jugs and jugs of ale. But i handle myself well.
