For women, binge drinking means downing four or more drinks on an occasion tab thrilpil. Every month, about 14 million women and girls binge go on a toot at least three times, according to the promulgate from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

And women who binge guzzle undistinguished about six drinks at a time, the put out said. "Although binge drinking is even more of a conundrum middle men and boys, binge drinking is an superior and unrecognized women's health issue," CDC director Dr Thomas Frieden, said during a noontime press conference. And the consequences for women, who transform alcohol differently than men, are serious, Frieden said. "There are about 23000 deaths centre of women and girls each year due to drinking too much alcohol," he said. "Most of those deaths are from binge drinking".

Binge drinking also increases the jeopardize for many vigorousness problems such as mamma cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, compassion disease and unintended pregnancy, he added. In addition, fertile women who binge drink expose their cosset to high levels of alcohol that can lead to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders and unwonted infant death syndrome, he noted.

Frieden acclaimed that the number of adult women who binge drink hasn't changed much in the old times 15 years. But changing patterns surrounded by young people mean that high school girls are binge drinking nearly as often as boys, Frieden explained. "While the toll among high school boys fell considerably in fresh decades, it has remained relatively constant among violent school girls, which is why there is hardly any difference at this point between boys and girls in drinking," he said.

Frieden celebrated binge drinking is common mid both men and women. "Fifty percent of all the alcohol consumed by adults and about 90 percent of all of the demon rum consumed by kids is consumed during a binge," he said. Binge drinking was most hackneyed among women 18 to 34 and capital school girls.

Doctors should argot to their patients about drinking and singularly about binge drinking and the risks of excessive moonshine consumption, he advised.

Recommended guidelines call for women to have no more than one drink a lifetime and for men up to two drinks, he said. "Underage adolescence and women who are pregnant should not drink at all," Frieden said. To accomplish their conclusions, CDC researchers collected data on 278000 women who were vicinage of the 2011 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, and about 7500 great in extent school girls from the 2011 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey.

One maven said the crack confirms earlier research. "This set forth reiterates what has been known to be a problem for some time - girls and women binge wet one's whistle at significant levels," said Dr JC Garbutt, professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. "We be aware that the jeopardy for many medical, behavioral and community problems rises as the level of consumption rises," he added.

Given the dangers of binge drinking, Garbutt believes steps such as educating women on the risks and launching doctor- and community-led efforts to subdue binge drinking are necessary. But it's a toilsome behavior to change, he added. "It is impressive to reward that we are a drinking discernment where alcohol consumption is the normative behavior vitoviga. Changing drinking behavior is not an serenely task," he said.
