binge drinkers
Excessive alcohol consumers
Binge drinkers consume large quantities of alcohol in short periods, typically enough to reach legal intoxication.
The term implies a pattern—not constant drinking, but periodic episodes of heavy consumption: College campuses struggle with binge drinkers every weekend.
Health organizations typically define binge drinking as four or more drinks for women, five or more for men, within about two hours.
