Moderate drinking is considered two drinks a day or less for men and one drink or less for woman, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Binge-drinking, according to the same source, is quantified as five or more drinks on an occasion (lasting two to three hours) for men and four or more drinks on occasion for woman. Excessive alcohol consumption can leave you feeling less than ideal for a long time, with brutal hangovers often accompanying a fun night out. Ashlyn Messier is a writer for Fox News Digital.
