People who binge-drink show more extensive dysfunction across their brains than previously realised, a new study from the University of Sussex has shown.
The research shows that binge-drinkers' brains have to put more effort into trying to feel empathy for other people in pain.
•••••
Reduced empathy in binge drinkers may facilitate drinking as it can blunt the perception of suffering of self or others during a drinking session.
•••••
Bring drinking is defined as consuming more than 60 g of pure alcohol - (equivalent to about three quarters of one bottle of wine, or 2½ pints of lager) on at least one occasion in the past 30 days. About 30% of all adults (over 15 years of age) who drink alcohol in UK and France meet this criterion.
