Drinking Binge?

How many days was the longest drinking binge you ever been on?

Welcome to SR and our Alcoholism Forum

I was not a binge drinker...rather one who drank consistantly
and excessively for the final 5 years of my active alcoholism.

I found a way to quit and it's a great way to live.

Probably 8 days was the longest "binge". Horrid time.

More of a one night binge deal for me. Not over many days. Was always too hungover to do that!

I didn't binge.. unless you call the past several years as a binge. Sure I took a day off, a week off, etc.. but hell, who am I kidding? I'd drink as often and as much as I could usually. 'too much, too often, for too long'..

However! I do remember counting the days that I drank in a row. I'd get up to 6 or 7 and force a break. ONE day haha.. or 2, then another "binge"..Silly how the mind works.

I honestly don't remember....scary, huh? I will assume it ended with a trip to the hospital though becuase I went to the hospital a few different times for alcohol-related incidents.

I didn't binge . . . . but for the last 15 years of my drinking I think there were only about 10 days (and they weren't consecutive) that I didn't drink.

I didn't binge. 'Just' continually drank for 30 years, but hey, I didn't start till after 5, so it was okay, right?! Amazing what can be okay, isn't it?

If I wasn't working or sleeping, I pretty much was drinking. This went on for years with a few short breaks.
