Binge drinking is defined as consuming an excessive amount of alcohol in a short period, leading to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher. For men, this typically means consuming five or more drinks in about two hours, while for women, it usually involves four or more drinks in the same timeframe. This pattern of drinking is not only a social issue but also a significant toxicological concern due to its acute and long-term effects on the body.
