It's different from consistent heavy drinking in that it's done only once. The article was pretty clear and it's not a matter of semantics. People might not like the science (or quibble with the conclusions) but that's what the study found. Sorry you didn't like the poll. We'll keep it in mind for the next one. Thanks for your comments.

Beauty brains, how is the difference between "heavy drinking" and "binge drinking" operationalized? Aka how are the variables defined. Seems like a matter of semantics not science to me.... (from a faithful and appreciative reader) p.s. I have been telling people to mix their skin cream with cannabis for years now...... p.p.s. Usually your polls provide interesting new information. This one seems to fail at that aim. Hope the next one is better. Reading as always and loving it.... Teddy That seems a rather technical argument for the binge drinking.
