I'm curious to know how ``binge drinking'' is defined for the purposes of this study. According to them, it seems that some people as ``binge drinkers'' and some are not. I've always thought of binge drinking as an event rather than a personality type. When I was in college, I used to engage in binge drinking quite regularly on weekends, but I would not have described myself as a binge drinker. Actually I'm not so sure of that, because I have no idea what the term ``binge drinker'' even means. Perhaps it means something like ``alcoholic?''

I've always used vomiting as a threshold for irresponsible, binge drinking.
