摘要:I n the UK it is recommended that men and women not regularly exceed 3-4 units or 2-3 units of alcohol per day, respectively; these are the 'lower risk daily guidelines' (Drinkaware, 2014). Binge drinking is defined as exceeding twice these guidelines on one drinking occasion (Department of Health, 2003). Reducing the number of people engaged in this behaviour is a key action in the current national alcohol policy (Department of Health, 2013).
