Bear in mind that "binge drinking" is defined by professionals who have extensively studied the effects alcohol has on the body and identified a threshold after which acute damage occurs, rather than by laypeople who just set the bar based on social norms among their peer group. Those are also "standard drinks," which means 12 oz of 5% beer, 5 oz of 12% wine, or 1.5 oz of 40% liquor. A pint of beer is actually 1.33 drinks, or more if it's stronger than 5%.
5 drinks doesn't even get me drunk though while it could get someone smaller (or with a less tolerance) plastered, you'd think that would play a role in what's binging or not
