What
Is Binge Drinking?
Simply
put, binge drinking is drinking to get drunk - a self-destructive
and unrestrained drinking bout
During the drinking binge
the heavily intoxicated drinker ignores responsibilities, squanders
money, and engages in all manner of harmful behaviours that
may well bring them into contact with the police or emergency
services
Binge drinking is now a problem in many western
countries, even though individual countries have different tolerance
levels of binge drinkers
In the United States, binge
drinking is the consuming of four or more drinks by a woman,
or five or more drinks by a man on an occasion
In the
United Kingdom, binge drinking is commonly defined as consuming
11 or more drinks on an occasion. This is more than double what
is considered binge drinking in the USA – yet binge drinking
in the United Kingdom is now so serious; the British Government
is about to bring in measures to tackle the problem
What’s
the problem?
Binge
drinking is irresponsible; heavy drinking that often comes under
the disguise of fun and games. Binge drinking is terribly dangerous
to the drinker and to the people around them.
Risks
to the binge drinker include:
· Missing
work
· Damaging
property
· Engaging
in unplanned sexual activity
· Not
using protection when having sex
· Driving
a car after drinking
· Getting
into trouble with the police
· Getting
hurt or injured
· Alcohol
poisoning - a severe and potentially fatal physical
reaction
to an alcohol overdose.
Risks
to people around binge drinkers:
· Having
leisure time or sleep interrupted
· Being
insulted or humiliated
· Having
a serious argument
· Having
property damaged
· Being
pushed, hit or assaulted
· Experiencing
an unwanted sexual advances or assault
Why
do they do it?
· To
get drunk
· Status
associated with drinking
· Culture
of alcohol consumption
· Peer
pressure
· Stress
Do
you have a binge-drinking problem?
Do
you recognise either of these harmful and destructive behaviours
in your own life?
· Are
you drinking more heavily and more often?
· Are
you drinking to "get drunk"
· Is
your drinking affecting your work or upsetting your partner
or family?
What
to do?
Luckily,
there’s an effective solution to binge drinking - Hypnotherapy
and NLP
We all tend to be miss-programmed by negative
input in some way and neuro-linguistic programming reprograms
the mind for a positive outcome.
Hypnotherapy puts the
mind in a state that will accept the NLP re-programming more
readily, so NLP and hypnotherapy combined are a very effective
combination.
By using a combination of hypnotherapy and
NLP, you can re-program your binge drinking behaviour in a few
hours.
You can stop binge drinking by re-programming
your brain – you can get a trained hypnotherapist to do this,
or you can do-it-yourself by using a self-help download
Either
way the result is the same – to change your usual self-destructive
“drink to get drunk” activities to a pleasant “have a few drinks
and have a good time”
It’s a matter of self-control,
and there are neuro-linguistic and hypnotherapy techniques that
create a sequence of thinking that get the brain to move from
the thought of drinking to excess to the thought of just having
a moderate amount of drinks and enjoying yourself
