As part of a larger survey of health-related behaviours. 8441 Welsh men and women aged 18–64 years provided information relating to their overall consumption of alcohol, frequency of binge drinking (defined as consumption of at least half the recommended weekly limits, ≤21 units for men, ≤14 units for women) per occasion, and changes in consumption over time Key findings indicate 29% of men and 9% of women report drinking in excess of the recommended safe limits, whilst 28% and 8% respectively report binge drinking at least once weekly. Such drinking is not, however, confined to heavy drinkers: 14% of men and 5% of women who drink within the recommended safe limits also report binge drinking at least once weekly. These and other results are discussed in relation to futurc health promotion initiatives
