LabelHow serious problem is binge drinking?Q495
Question text I'm now going to ask you to think about people in different situations. The first situation is described on this card. (Binge drinker) is 40 and lives alone. (S/He) has a history of alcohol problems. For the past five years (binge drinker) has been drinking heavily on most days and is often unable to remember bits of what (s/he) did the night before. (Binge drinker) lost (his/her) job because of this heavy drinking. (S/He) worries that (his/her) memory isn't as good as it used to be. First, how serious a problem would you consider (binge drinke'r) drinking to be, or do you not think it's a problem?
