10 percent of Europeans usually drink five or more drinks at a time," Tod said. "This figure is particularly high among the 15 to 24 age group."

I don't consider that bringe drinking. I often times will go to the pub and have 10-15 drinks. If you include, shots, and beers, and drinks.

I consider bringe consuming more then 5 drinks in one hour though, but not in one sitting.
