Fact of the Month
 
  "The National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse (NIAAA) adopted the 5/4 definition of binge drinking where a "binge" is a pattern of drinking alcohol that brings blood alcohol concentration to 0.08 gram percent or above. For the typical adult this pattern corresponds to consuming 5 or more drinks (male) or 4 or more drinks (female) in about 2 hours. The annual Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey coordinated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended changing its measure of binge drinking from a 5-drink standard to a gender-specific measure of 5 drinks for males and 4 drinks for females."
