Many people drink alcohol occasionally. I know many college students binge drink but in fact if you drink moderately there can be health benefits. Moderate drinking is one drink a day for women or anyone over 65, and two drinks a day for men under 65. One health benefit is reducing the risk of certain heart problems.Some people should not drink at all, including alcoholics, children, pregnant women, people on certain medicines and people with some medical conditions. Anything more than moderate drinking is called binge drinking and that can be risky. Binge drinking is drinking five or more drinks at one time. This can damage your health and increase your risk for accidents, injuries and assault. Years of heavy drinking can lead to liver disease, heart disease, cancer and pancreatitis. Drinking can also cause social problems in one's life. So in conclusion drinking moderately may be beneficial, but binge drinking can be very dangerous.
