Ugh. I just watched a CNN segment that enraged me. I'm not going to link because I don't want to up their hits, but I have a few questions.
If someone asked you how many drinks in a sitting is a binge, what number would you give?
Now, would you ask them what they meant, specifically, by binge?
Would you ask them to define "a sitting"?
Would you ask them where that sitting would occur, how long it would last, and what the social context of that sitting would be?
If I ask you what is "a sitting" as it relates to a "binge", what is your response?
( What the CNN segment said, and my irritation in response. )
