Being drunk. Ever. Also, if you have binge drank more than once, you are an alcoholic.

Bet you that definition is pretty close to the "official" one.

The study's authors described a style of drinking that they designated as "binge" drinking, defined as the consumption of five or more drinks in a row for men and four or more for women, at least once in the 2 weeks preceding the survey.

a standard drink defined as equal to 12 grams of absolute alcohol

However, the total amount of alcohol in a typical serving of beer (12 ounces), wine (5 ounces), and hard liquor (1.5 ounces) is the same.

5 or more drinks.
I've quadroupled that freshman year and my liver still hasn't forgiven me.
(For the record, downing 750ml of vodka is a really bad idea, not matter how many drunken friends shout "drink, drink....)

That's easy. Just remember "An alcoholic is someone who drinks more than his doctor."

The definition probably includes drinking until you puke/pass out/cannot remember where you were or what you did.
