Topic - Define "Casual, Moderate and Heavy Drinking"

This is where you can help us come to some agreement about those elusive terms that just aren't very well defined in so many of the articles we read.

Some research will clearly state, for example, that their subjects consumed 4 beverages containing alcohol per day. That's clear. We can all understand that and measure our own consumption against the number 4.

However, too many articles, studies, opinion papers etc. use terms like "heavy drinking", "light drinking" and "binge drinking" to report the effects of these undefined levels of alcohol use.

Tell us what you think. Click the comments link below and tell us how many drinks in a day would be Casual, Moderate, Binge and Heavy drinking.

Thanks for your help!
