Binge drinking as a researchable construct has generally been defined as 5 or more drinks on one occasion. However, no study has been conducted to determine whether the binge concept that implies excessive drunkenness is being optimally captured within that level. Random interviews of drinkers returning from visiting bars in Tijuana, with breath tests, provided both blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measurements and the self-reported number of drinks consumed. Results indicate that currently used definitions of binge drinking predict relatively low BACs and may not be capturing the excessive-drunkenness quality of the term. Consumption duration may explain the lower BACs.
作为一个可研究概念，暴饮一般被定义为一次饮用5杯或更多酒。然而，尚未有研究来确定暗示过度醉酒的暴饮概念在该饮酒量水平下是否得到了最佳体现。对从蒂华纳的酒吧返回的饮酒者进行随机访谈，并进行呼气测试，从而获得了血液酒精浓度（BAC）测量值以及自我报告的饮酒量。结果表明，目前使用的暴饮定义所预测的BAC相对较低，可能并未体现出该术语所包含的过度醉酒特征。饮酒持续时间可能解释了较低的BAC值。
