I used to be a heavy binge drinker when I was in my middle teens (16-17). I was drunk every weekend and sometimes during the week too, I would go out friday night with a liter of jim beam, finish it and then drink more. sleep all next day and go out that night and do it again, rinse and repeat. I realized I was heading off the rails so I stopped quick smart. now that I think about it I was probably borderline alco. I just had too much money and too many friends.
I enjoy the occasional binge, but they are few and far between now. I just don't like being out of control like I used to be.
I do have the occasional beer or cider in the evening. I've totally gone off burbon and vodka now though.
