What happens to you if drink every weekend?

Binge drinking, which is defined as consuming four or more drinks for women and five or more drinks for men on a single occasion, can lead to a number of health problems and negative consequences, including:

1. Alcohol poisoning: This can occur when you drink too much alcohol in a short period of time. Symptoms of alcohol poisoning include confusion, vomiting, seizures, and unconsciousness. Alcohol poisoning can be fatal.

2. Injuries: Alcohol can impair your judgment and coordination, which can increase the risk of accidents and injuries. These injuries can range from cuts and bruises to broken bones and head injuries.

3. Risky sexual behavior: Alcohol can lower your inhibitions and make it more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviors, such as unprotected sex. This can increase the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies.

4. Liver damage: Heavy drinking can damage the liver, which is responsible for filtering toxins from the body. Liver damage can lead to a number of health problems, including cirrhosis and liver failure.

5. Heart disease: Heavy drinking can increase the risk of heart disease, including high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attack.

6. Cancer: Heavy drinking has been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer, including mouth, throat, esophageal, liver, and breast cancer.

7. Mental health problems: Heavy drinking can contribute to mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder.

8. Addiction: Alcohol is addictive, and heavy drinking can lead to addiction. Addiction can cause problems in your personal life, your relationships, and your work.

In addition to these health problems, binge drinking can also have negative consequences on your social life, your work, and your finances.
