I'm a recovering addict.

I KNOW what a binge is.

A binge lasts over 1 day and might run into a week. It is drinking / drugging past the point you should have crashed and gone to sleep. It is a day of bed spins. It is speeding for 2 days on meth and cocaine, having your adrenaline kick in the 3rd day, and having to double dose on qualudes and tequila just do you can shut your eyes long enough to pretend to get some rest as the ants crawl all over your body, stimulating every hair folicle, and a high pitch sqeal digs into your brain. It is mixing meth with speed acid and not stop hallucinating for a month.

5 drinks? Most adults can handle 5 drinks over a 3 hour period. They'll get drunk, but not wasted. And 3 hours is a reasonable amount of time to hang out with friends, listening to the band or dancing at the bar.

Total crock.
