Binge Drinking: How to Stop It

By: Lyta Humphris

Basically, binge drinking is overindulging in alcohol to get drunk, a vicious and uninhibited drinking free for all. A seriously intoxicated individual engaging in an episode of binge drinking will shirk obligations, waste money, and take part in many other types of harmful activities, which may potentially bring him or her into contact with emergency services or police.
The tolerance level of binge drinking varies from country to country, but it has become a problem in many western countries. In United States binge drinking means the number of drinks consumed by a person on a particular occasion i.e, woman having four or more drinks or man having five or more drinks.
The general definition of the term "binge drinking" in the UK is the consumption, on a single occasion, of more than ten drinks. This is more than twice what's considered binge drinking in the U.S., but binge drinking in the U.K. is so severe now that the British Government is ready to take further measures to defeat the problem.
What is the matter?
Binge drinkers often think that partying all night is just a cool thing to do. Binge drinkers are a danger to themselves and their entire community.
Risks to the binge drinker include:

Driving a car after drinking, Getting hurt or injured, Engaging in unplanned sexual activity, Missing work, Getting into trouble with the police, Damaging property, Not using protection when having sex, Alcohol poisoning; a severe and potentially fatal physical reaction to an alcohol overdose
Risks to people around binge drinkers:
Experiencing an unwanted sexual advances or assault, Having property damaged, Being insulted or humiliated, Having a serious argument
Why do people do it?:
Peer pressure, Culture of alcohol consumption, For status associated with drinking, To get drunk, 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 to get drunk, Is your drinking affecting your work or upsetting your partner or family?, Are you drinking more heavily and more often?
What can be done?
Hypnotherapy and NPL can have provide long-lasting results for binge drinking. Negative input is a common thing programmed into most people but it can be controlled and turned into something positive. Hypnotherapy will put your mind into a state which will accept NLP re-programming more easily, so hypnotherapy and NLP combined turn out to be an effective combo.
Binge drinking habit can be changed by following a combination of hypnotherapy and NLP for a few hours You may stop binge drinking with the re-programming of your brain; you may have a trained hypnotherapist do this, or do it on your own by means of a self-help download. The result is the same either way: changing your self-destructive "drinking to get drunk" pastimes to the more pleasant "having a few drinks and having a nice time."

It's a matter of self-control, and there are neuro-linguistic and 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.
