Why Do People Binge Drink?
Most people binge drink simply to be plastered. They may say it’s because they were partying, or because they want the pain to go away, or because they like the feeling, but generally it all boils down to the fact that they like to be plastered. Binge drinkers normally will not seek treatment until they are ready. Until something terrible happens for them to see that they actually are not invincible, and that yes, your liver does die from it, they won’t even attempt to seek help. Having a family intervention for the binge drinker in a neutral setting can sometimes help, but attacking them or making accusations never solves anything.
