According to the UK's Chief Medical Officers, consuming more than 8 units of alcohol for men or 6 units for women in a single session is a definition of binge drinking. This article explores why drinking 8 units can be considered a binge, what that level of consumption means for your health, and how to identify and address risky drinking habits.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), drinking on an empty stomach significantly speeds up the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. This happens because the stomach and intestines are not busy digesting food, allowing alcohol to pass into the bloodstream much faster. Understanding why you shouldn't drink with an empty stomach is vital for your health and safety.
