Absolute loathe it. Beer is to be savoured and tasted, not drunk like water.

My body doesn't like it. Each to their own. Not for me though. 3-2.

If I went out and drank, say, five pints of Cotleigh 25 or Firefly over the course of an evening, that would officially be a binge, Mike. Perhaps I misunderstood the honourable upstart's original question.

Agree with you Swanaldo. A couple of pints are fine. Or if there is a really good range of real ales, then four halves, to try different beers, which I often do.

The CAMRA beer festivals now have a third of a pint glasses available, so you can try even more beers, and still stay within your limit. Excellent idea.

I have a drink almost everyday anyway, like a glass of wine with dinner, but I do drink more and differently, like lager, if I'm out at football all day and then go down town.
If it's a proper 'do' then I'll drink B&C and lots of it, but I will have a lot of water between drinks.

Is that still a binge or not?

Binge drinking is good and needs to be promoted more in schools.

Then again, i think eating a pack of wine gums is considered binge drinking these days.
