Chug! Chug! Chug! Why more women are binge drinking | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 17399035 United States 01/10/2013 10:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Long bouts of drinking typical of binges can lead to unpleasant, not to mention potentially dangerous consequences for both men and women. In her award-winning photography project “Keg Stand Queens,” photographer Amanda Berg documented her friends’ drinking habits during parties at Rochester Institute of Technology. The collection includes images of underage girls in sexually compromising positions, passed out on lawns and leaning over toilet seats. |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 17399035 United States 01/10/2013 10:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In describing her work, Berg argues that the danger of binge drinking among women is that women’s bodies, which are typically smaller than men’s cannot handle the same amounts of alcohol as men, so attempting to keep up can be dangerous. And when the worst does happen, she writes in her blog post about the project that there is a tendency to try to justify it: After a night of excessive drinking sexual assault can be redefined as a “hook up.” The loss of memory due to inebriation can proudly be termed “blacking out.” Words like “apparently” preface the stories told of the prior night. With this, women abdicate responsibility and give themselves permission to repeat the same behavior. |

SavedByGrace7 User ID: 19592461 United States 01/11/2013 02:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is nothing classy about a female who drinks a lot. My youngest sister constantly posts pictures of herself on facebook, if they aren't an annoying self pic, they are of her holding a beer, drinking a beer, close ups of shot glasses, then close ups of them empty. I told my uncle who is a recovering alcoholic about her drinking and he said she doesnt have a drinking problem, I said, HAVE YOU SEEN HER FACEBOOK? If she's with family on Sunday, she is posting that she would rather be at a bar....Come on now, get real. I tried telling her that she's too smart to be constantly killing brain cells but she doesn't want to hear a thing I say, even though I've been there and done that. Ive even offered to pick her up any time 24/7 if she's been out drinking, just so she won't drink and drive, but she does anyway. I pray she doesn't kill anyone. Matthew 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. |

There is no memory loss due to inebriation; that's a myth perpetuated via a wink and a nod among those who lead that lifestyle. But the last sentence is spot-on. actually often can be some amount of memory loss, in that what you do remember is more like spaced apart snapshots of the events that occurred which sometimes can make it difficult to piece together the totality of the (usually) idiotic shit you were a party to. I can say this for certainty because I am beyond the wink and a nod stage. (40 y/o)I genuinely have been ashamed of things I have done. I am telling you the truth, blackouts are very real and they do not always include loss of consciousness. For example, I have been known to cook full meals for a houseful of people and remember nothing more than something like draining hot water out of a pan and getting burned. It has to be an extreme intrusion into your inebriation to register. I agree though, there are many wink/nod cases, but not always. |
