how bad is binge drinking for you if you did it say once a week?

Question

I mean long term effects, how serious etc. Thanks

Answer 1

Binge drinking can have serious effects.. Alcohol poisoning,Pancreatitis,diabetes Heart problems,skin problems, ulcers,tooth decay,loss of memory not to mention it makes some people just plain jerks,bad drivers and poor decision makers. But for the small percent of people that can avoid all of that,it can be a lot of fun..
I had a friend that used to say that he was allergic to alcohol...every time he drank..he broke out in handcuffs.
Didn't know that drinking was such a tough sport did ya?

Answer 2

Well, it depends on how bad you get. The higher the blood alcohol gets, the more damage to liver, brain, etc. So if you get really blasted, every week for years, it takes a pretty big toll. If you had lower blood alcohol or didn't do it as often, or stopped doing it sooner, the effects would be less.

Since everyone is different, the overall total damage is unpredictable. So maybe you should enjoy it for a few more years then maybe taper off. Just maybe have a couple fewer on each occassion and don't drive.

Answer 3

Hi ZZZZZ, i used to binge drink, twice a week. probably drankabout 15 pints a week.
I did this for 6 years.
I now have gallstones, liver disease including hepatitis and cholocystitis. I am overtly jaundice and have been for 6 months meaning i am yellow all over. I itch like hell and cannot make it stop. I feel sick when i eat, cannot stop drinking water and my toilet habits are strange to say the least.
I have blood tests twice a week to check for blood poisining and need an MRI scan before they operate.
So, in short, binge drinking is very bad for you!!!!!!! I`m only 24 and have all this to contend with!

Answer 6

Binge ingesting is not in any respect solid. i'd advise thoroughly cutting alcohol out in case you're weak to bingeing. i have considered what bingeing does to people. It starts off of innocuous, yet receives extremely risky.

Answer 7

Alcohol...FULL STOP....is bad for you in the long term.....If your that concerned to ask this question give it up now....There is nothing clever in it.....I am not making this up when I tell you I have lost in the last 3 months 3 very close friends.....They were all drinkers.......Be a man and tell your friends you don't drink.....You will be the sensible one ......There are lots of other drinks you can have........Think about it!!!!

Answer 8

Why do you have to binge? that's so sad.
Binging really overworks the liver and kidneys which are responsible for getting rid of toxins.
Slow down and enjoy it, and while your at it, look at your friends, and how they change with a few tooooo many. x x B.

Answer 9

semi bad, binge drinking on the weekends can produce liver problems and artery problems in the long term effect. I suggest that you try reducing your binge drinking to one day on the week ends and try and skip a week (drink one day every 2 weeks) much less harmful

Answer 10

Getting pissed (or binge drinking) only begins to take its toll on you later in life (if you're lucky). 40s and onwards you become stupid, emotionally unbalanced and physically grotesque. Just like with anything else, I suppose. Bread n that, chips, gardening, etc.
