SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHalcohol and society 29/06/2006 Who are the hardest “binge drinkers” 
“Binge drinking” is an English term for drinking until the knees go on strike. According to a British study Belgium occupies fourth position of reckless drinking, after Finland, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The average number of drunken nights spent by a Belgian is 27, beaten by a rubescent nose by the Brit and his 28, which is any case four times the norm for Italy. Recent years have seen alarming increases in “binge drinking” among young women. The research would give us to believe that alcohol is one of the most serious problems for the health of the peoples of Europe, after tobacco and high blood pressure, and has as a greater impact than obesity, lack of physical exercise and illegal drug use. The researchers plead the case for government measures to curb this phenomenon, given the great number of victims, set at some 10 000 a year and the concomitant costs for the whole of Europe of some 125 thousand million euros.
