Which item asks about binge drinking on a single occasion?

• A. How often do you have four or more drinks (if you are a woman) or five or more drinks (if you are a man) on one occasion?
• B. How many cups of coffee do you drink per day?
• C. How often do you exercise?
• D. Do you prefer tea or coffee?

Answer: (A)

Binge drinking on a single occasion is about whether a person drinks a large amount in one session. The statement that asks about having four or more drinks for a woman or five or more drinks for a man on one occasion targets that exact behavior and uses the standard thresholds to define binge drinking in a single event. The other items are about topics like daily caffeine intake, how often you exercise, or beverage preference, which do not measure episodic heavy drinking in one sitting.
