Alcohol Consumption - Binge Drinking
'''''Binge drinking''''' is defined as a pattern of alcohol consumption that brings the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to 0.08% or above. This typically happens when men consume 5 or more drinks, and when women consume 4 or more drinks, on one occasion. It is listed as the percentage of survey respondents who reported binge drinking during the 30 days prior to the survey.
[[img src ="https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/alcohol-screening-counseling/images/problem1_970px.jpg" width = "652" height= "455"]]
Number of survey respondents who reported binge drinking during the 30 days prior to the survey.
Number of survey respondents excluding those with missing, "Don't know/Not sure", or "Refused" responses.
As with all surveys, some error results from non-response (e.g., refusal to participate in the survey or to answer specific questions), and measurement (e.g., social desirability or recall bias). Error was minimized by use of strict calling protocols, good questionnaire design, standardization of interviewer behavior, interviewer training, and frequent, on-site interviewer monitoring and supervision.

'''''Binge drinking''''' is the most common pattern of excessive alcohol use in the United States and those who binge drink tend to do so frequently and with high intensity.^1^
According to the latest estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, excessive alcohol use is responsible for '''140,557 deaths in the United States''' each year, including 6 in 10 deaths among working-age adults aged 20-64 years.^2^ Estimates also suggest that 903 Utahns die from alcohol-attributable causes each year^3^ and Utah is ranked seventh in the nation for alcohol poisoning deaths.^4^
Excessive alcohol use is also associated with many health and social harms, including liver cirrhosis, certain cancers, unintentional injuries, violence and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. Excessive drinking cost the United States $249 billion in 2010, which calculates to $2.05 per drink.^1^ In 2019, the cost of excessive alcohol use in Utah was estimated to be $1.34 billion.^5^

In 2022, it was estimated that '''12.8%''' (crude rate) of Utah adults binge drank at least once in the 30 days prior to the survey. Utah is '''well below the Healthy People 2020 objective of 24.4%''' for this measure.
Estimates show that in 2022 '''17% of U.S. adults''' reported binge drinking in the past 30 days whereas '''12.8% of Utah adults''' reported binge drinking (crude rates).
The percentage of adults who reported binge drinking in the past 30 days was substantially lower in Utah than in the U.S. for all years reported between 1989-2022.
The [https://sumh.utah.gov/ Office of Substance Use and Mental Health (DSAMH)] is the agency responsible for ensuring that substance abuse and mental health prevention and treatment services are available statewide. The Office also acts as a resource by providing general information, research, and statistics to the public regarding substances of abuse and mental health services.
The Community Preventive Services Task Force recommends evidence based strategies to reduce excessive alcohol consumption in [https://www.thecommunityguide.org/topics/excessive-alcohol-consumption.html The Community Guide].
These strategies include:
# Increasing alcoholic beverage costs
# Limiting the number of retail alcohol outlets that sell alcoholic beverages in a given area
# Holding alcohol retailers responsible for the harms caused by their underage or intoxicated patrons (dram shop liability)
# Restricting access to alcohol by maintaining limits on the days and hours of alcohol retail sales
# Consistent enforcement of laws against underage drinking and alcohol-impaired driving
# Screening and counseling for alcohol misuse. [[br]]

A drink of alcohol is equivalent to a '''12-ounce beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine, or a drink with one shot of liquor'''.[[br]]

====Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention====
Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention (A-SBI) is a preventive service, similar to a hypertension or cholesterol screening, which can occur as part of a patient's wellness visit.
A-SBI works to identify individuals at risk for alcohol use problems, and is followed by a brief discussion between the individual and a service provider. A referral to specialized treatment is provided when necessary.
A-SBI aims to increase a person's awareness of their alcohol use and its consequences. When alcohol is being consumed in an excessive amount, the individual is motivated to either reduce risky drinking or seek treatment.
[https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/fasd/alcohol-screening.html A-SBI] is recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the Community Preventive Services Task Force (Community Guide), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and the World Health Organization (WHO).
For more information on A-SBI, please visit the CDC Alcohol Screening page [https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/fasd/alcohol-screening.html].
