Drink Aware, an independent alcohol education organization, describes binge drinking as taking a lot of alcohol in a short amount of time. The organization notes that binge drinking is hazardous.

According to Drink Aware, our bodies limit the alcohol units they can metabolize in a given time. This amount varies from one person to another.
