Binge Drinking: How to Stop It

Basically, binge drinking is overindulging in alcohol to get drunk, a vicious and uninhibited drinking free for all. While binge drinking, heavily intoxicated drinkers ignore responsibilities, squander money, and take part in many harmful behaviors which can cause them to encounter police or emergency services.

Binge drinking is now a problem in many western countries, even though individual countries have different tolerance levels of binge drinkers. In the United States, binge drinking is the consuming of four or more drinks by a woman, or five or more drinks by a man on any particular occasion.

The UK has a set tolerance of 11 drinks or more at one time that is considered binge drinking. Because of the lack of strict rules in the U.K, it is getting to be a serious problem that parliament must deal with.

What is the Issue?

Binge drinking is simply irresponsible, heavy drinking which frequently is disguised as mere fun and games. Binge drinkers are a danger to themselves and their entire community.

Risks to the binge drinker include:
 
Getting into trouble with the police
Getting hurt or injured
Missing work
Engaging in unplanned sexual activity

Risks to people around binge drinkers:

Being pushed, hit or assaulted
Having property damaged
Having a serious argument

Why do people do it?:

For status associated with drinking
Peer pressure
Stress

Do you have a binge-drinking problem? Do you recognise any of these harmful and destructive behaviours in your own life:

Are you drinking more heavily and more often?
Are you drinking to get drunk
Is your drinking affecting your work or upsetting your partner or family?

What exactly are your options?

Hypnothereapy Plymouth and NLP is usually an effective solution to the problem. Negative input is a common thing programmed into most people but it can be controlled and turned into something positive. Hypnotherapy and NLP when combined are greatly effective.

Binge drinking habit can be changed by following a combination of Hypnotherapy Plymouth and NLP for a few hours You can stop binge drinking by re-programming your brain, you can get a trained hypnotherapist to do this, or you can do-it-yourself by using a self-help download. You have to be able to gauge yourself to just have a few drinks and stop, way before you are actually drunk.

It's a matter of self-control, and there are neuro-linguistic and Plymouth Hypnotherapy techniques that create a sequence of thinking that get the brain to move from the thought of drinking to excess to the thought of just having a moderate amount of drinks and enjoying yourself.
