What exactly classifies as Binge pattern drinking in the IT-professionals of Bangalore
Hello dear friends. Have to give a heads up that this is kind of an academic post here. As a psychiatrist, we have clear cut definitions of a disorder. This includes addiction as well. A sub type of addiction is Binge drinking, which is basically having a sober period after few days of continuous and heavy drinking. As simple as it might sound, but my IT patients give a very similar reply, some thing like we are too troubled across the week and weekends are our only escape. I understand this from a psychiatric perspective. But need to see it's continuum nature. So what do you guys think about weekend drinking? Any information will be helpful.
