I just finished a health survey and it kind of concerned me?

Yeah, I don't drink that often, or regularly, maybe once every two to three weeks. This survey says that the average amount of drinks I should be having is supposed to be about four. It then asked me a question about the last time I drank and I guessed it was about 10 beers and three shots, so about 13 drinks. Should this be of concern? I spaced it out over a period of nine hours and I didn't black out or do anything I regretted, but is there anything I should be concerned about? I don't buy beer too often and I only really get drunk with friends on some occasions.

    Over that long a time frame it's not too concerning, but you obviously know it's not a great thing to do to your body. So this is going to be purely a health issue and not a behavioral one.

    Be watchful that it doesn't become a more regular thing and that your consumption doesn't gradually become heavier or have behavioral consequences and otherwise try not to worry too much. You have to have fun sometimes.

    You should NOT be concerned about that. On the other hand if you do that 3 or more times a week then maybe you should be concerned.

    An occasional binge drinking episode means nothing. If you have 3 drinks a day and then once or twice a month do what you have there you are good to go.

    They call that binge drinking. But I do it too. Nothing for weeks then maybe 10 or 12 spaced over an afternoon & evening. So I don't see anything wrong with it.
