Usually called the doctor. Or the caretaker.

The "binge drinking" definitions throughout the world tend to be screwed up, anyway -- and somehow, the way they're used has a tendency to put down women.

I mean, a couple years ago, there was one definition that was in use in Britain, for some purpose and I don't remember what -- but it basically said that a woman who had three beers in an evening, twice a week, was a problem drinker. The definition for men was also unreasonable, but not QUITE as unreasonable as the one for women.

I confess that my grumpy contrarian streak has led me to drink more in the last year or two. As I've been reading more and more definitions of "problem" and "binge" drinking that I think really SHOULDN'T be problems, I've been trying to bring my drinking up to those levels.

Okay, my other reason is that, as a mixologist and sommolier, I need to be creating cocktails, and tasting wines and beers frequently to keep my skills sharp, but still. Yes, primarily, I'm drinking more for professional reasons, but it's also because Stupid People Say I Shouldn't.

(Note: the "Stupid People" referred to here are rarely the researchers -- although it's happened. More frequently, they are news folks who are reporting poorly, and legislators who hear the poor news reporting and misunderstand even further.)
