Health Risks of Occasional Binge Drinking

Binge drinking is having a lot of alcohol in one go.

For women, it's four or more drinks, and for men, it's five or more.

Even if you don't drink often, doing this once can be risky.

Your body turns alcohol into a harmful substance that can damage your DNA and increase the chance of getting cancer.

It can also cause heart problems and make you act dangerously, like driving drunk.

Experts say to eat before drinking, drink water in between, and know your limits.

There's no quick way to sober up; you just need to wait.
