Binge drinking

Binge drinking can be defined as drinking alcohol with the intention of being intoxicated by heavy consumption. I think every young person enjoys a nice glass of wine at weekends however i think that binge drinking is bad behaviour. Although i think it should be up to the person what they do to their body as everyone is aware of what binge drinking does to your health, i also think that binge drinking can lead to people putting themselves in venerable and dangerous situations. For example women may drink that much that they are not consciously aware of whats going on and may put them self in danger of being sexually assaulted. Binge drinking can also lead to people to get involved in crime as allot if people are violent when drunk and overreact to situations which wouldn't usually bother then if sober. In this sense isn't Binge drinking bad?

The health implications are evident. In 2008 9,031 people died in alcohol related deaths. http://http://www.statistics.gov.uk/CCI/nugget.asp?ID=1091 This shows that excessive amounts of alcohol is bad.
