Are You Over-Drinking At Weekends?
Beware of These 4 Dangers!
.

We’ve all done it before; avoided the wine until Friday night hits and then it’s party time! After a long and stressful week at work, you deserve to unwind and let your hair down.
.
If you’re a student, you may be even worse. Did you know that around 20% of all students in the US have an alcohol use disorder?
.
Some even say that their education suffers because of the effects of alcohol.
.
Whether you’re a student, in your 20s or 30s or older, you may not even recognise that you’ve been binge drinking.

Binge Drinking & Over-Drinking at The Weekends:
Below are 4 dangers you need to look out for:
.

,
1. You Take Risks with Your Health and Life

.
You may normally be quite reserved and stick to the rules during the week. However, if you become someone who’s willing to take risks on a night out, you may be lowering your inhibitions too far by drinking too much.
.
Drinking too much can lead to a drastic change in your character. And you may find yourself doing and saying things you wouldn’t normally do or say.
.
This often leads to regrets, if you can remember your choices from the night before. Don’t drink so much that you end up making stupid or dangerous mistakes, These include things like getting behind the wheel or having unprotected sex.
.

2. You Need to Drink Every Weekend
.

It’s easy to think that you’re being healthy when you say you only have a few drinks per week. But, if you’re not drinking Monday to Friday but you can’t go without a few drinks on a Saturday night, there may be a problem.
.
If you recognise these habits in yourself, you can get some support from The Recovery Village.
.
Binge drinking will cancel out any benefits of drinking alcohol in moderation and increase the likeliness of high blood pressure and certain types of cancer. You could also get oesophageal bleeding if you vomit repeatedly.
.
.

3. You Always Pass Your Own Limits

.
You may be constantly setting limits for yourself if you know the consequences of drinking too much. However, if you never stick to those limits, binge drinking may be becoming a problem for you.
.
We all have difficulty staying within the limits we set for ourselves. But if you can never muster up the willpower to stop yourself or you’re unable to go out with friends without having a glass of wine in your hand, it could be time to seek some help.
.
One of the best ways to get out of your binge drinking routine is to go on a detox for a month. You can then gauge your condition once you’ve finished.
.
.

4. You Often Black Out
.

Not everyone has the ability to drink and stay aware of what’s going on. The amount of alcohol you can safely consume is directly linked to your height, weight and even your DNA.
.
You know you’ve had one too many when you wake up the next morning and can’t remember anything. Or you may wake up in someone else’s bedroom and can’t figure out how you got there.
.
Blacking out isn’t healthy for anyone. So make sure you eat a good meal before drinking and leave the bar before you reach that point.
.
Binge drinking may seem like fun at the time, but it can have serious consequences for your health. So avoid it at all costs.
