A pattern that often begins during your years as a young adult, binge drinking is a dangerous practice. Often defined as drinking 5 or more drinks in a row, this type of behavior is cause for concern.
A habit around this type of drinking often develops when the sole purpose of consuming alcohol is to become intoxicated. When getting drunk is your goal, you set yourself on a path straight to injury, health concerns, and addiction.
Common Side Effects Of Binge Drinking
Binge drinking can lead to a wide range of side effects, including:
- Dehydration
- Nausea
- Memory Loss
- Poor Decision Making
- Shakiness
Alcohol also delays reaction time significantly. This may lead to instances where you are at a greater potential to harm yourself or others.
Binge Drinking Can Have An Effect On Your Personal Life
Drinking heavily often negatively impacts your personality. Engaging in this type of behavior often leads to higher rates of divorce and overall unhappiness at home.
Children of alcoholics often have deep-seated psychological and emotional issues. According to the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress, children of alcoholics are often more likely to avoid friendships as well. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for children of alcoholics to eventually struggle with abuse themselves.
Seeking Treatment Can Help Curb Binge Drinking Before It’s Too Late
