Topic	Is drinking every night for 6 months alcohol abuse?
adjl 09/24/23 12:00:22 PM #38:	Muscles posted... 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 Nope. Alcohol tolerance is exclusively a matter of your brain's ability to adapt to and mitigate the effects of alcohol. It indicates nothing about the effects alcohol has on the rest of your body, which remain the same regardless of how much "practice" you get because that only changes with your size/sex (and even then, the liver breaks down alcohol at the same rate whether you're 120 pounds or 360 pounds, so while the larger person's BAC won't increase as quickly, it'll stay higher for longer and that also affects the health impacts). The medical definition of "binge drinking" is drinking enough alcohol in a single sitting to have adverse effects due to the acute poisoning it causes, and what you feel is totally irrelevant to that. If you don't feel much of anything after crossing the threshold for binge drinking, that indicates a chronic pattern of alcohol abuse. You should try to cut back. --- This is my signature.
