Binge - long-term alcohol consumption (more than a day), which is accompanied by significant intoxication. This phenomenon is typical of people with alcohol dependence. The amount of alcohol consumed during such periods does not have time to be excreted, the decomposition products of alcohol poison the body. A prolonged weekly binge is usually accompanied by depressive states.
What is the difference between pseudo-binge and usual?
The binge begins with a psychological and physical craving for alcohol. Long periods of alcohol consumption can also arise under the influence of external factors: holidays, salary payments, a tragic event. Doctors call this phenomenon pseudo-drinking.
The pseudo-bingeing usually lasts 7-10 days and ends the same way it started, under the influence of social changes. However, the damage that alcohol does to the body does not allow you to quickly get out of a weekly binge. It will take time and certain steps to restore vital signs.

What to do in case of long-term binges
Excessive alcohol consumption for a week or more is dangerous for a person from the point of view of several aspects. Often after spending all the money on alcohol, the alcoholic begins to consume questionable beverages. In the course is, as they say, "everything that burns. "The danger of poisoning with unknown chemicals increases significantly.
Ultimately, the body stops taking alcohol and any other food. During this period, the alcoholic has vomiting, high blood pressure, tachycardia. The victim practically does not sleep, but falls into alcoholic faints with vivid visions.
It is this tipping point that drives drunkards to seek help.
hospital treatment
The best way to get out of a two-week binge is to go to the clinic. The doctor prescribes an individual treatment program after examining the patient. It is important to take into account the general condition of the body, the presence of chronic diseases, the degree of alcohol poisoning. Droppers are the most effective cleaning method. The solution allows you to wash traces of poisoning from the blood. The necessary medications are administered intravenously.

Depending on the state of the body, a course of vitamins, hepatoprotectors, etc. is prescribed. Rest and less physical activity have a positive effect on recovery. Hospital treatment takes three to seven days.
Visit at home

To beat a two-week binge at home, contact only trusted specialists. Often times, the intervention of unqualified personnel leads to a deterioration of the condition. Pseudo-doctors, whose services are paid for at an inflated price, often do not leave information about the drugs administered to the victim. Therefore, there is a high risk of entering intensive care.
Conclusion of excessive alcohol consumption by reducing the dose.
If for any reason qualified medical care is not available, there is no choice but to binge on your own.
It is necessary to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed to 20-30 grams, increasing the interval between doses. Experts advise using good quality vodka. You definitely need a snack. Usually at this time, the body of the alcoholic does not accept fatty foods, it can be limited to vegetables. Vegetable purees, like potatoes, work well. It is important not to allow the conservatee to drink an alcoholic beverage.
It should be continued until the alcoholic begins to feel sleepy. Do not resume drinking alcohol after sleeping. For the next 2-3 days, you need to pay attention to the restoration of the body, to establish sleep and strengthen the nervous system. Use valerian, a sedative herb for this. Some people use nootropics, even an ordinary mild sedative, of which there are many in the public domain, will do. Available pharmaceutical preparations will help restore the liver.
Is it possible to abruptly get out of the binge?
The method of abruptly refusing alcohol in severe intoxication remains controversial. Doctors talk about the stress that the body experiences in this case. The presence of chronic diseases and diseases in the exacerbation stage excludes this method.
The first effects of this method are felt a couple of hours after quitting alcohol. The traces of alcohol in the blood decompose and the seizures begin, the repeated vomiting. At that time, there was nothing left in the alcoholic's stomach, the vomit was a mixture of bile and gastric juice (a translucent yellow to swampy green liquid). It is necessary to drink up to a liter and a half of boiled water for a better stomach cleaning.
A person begins to shake and dizzy, coordination is impaired. Walking in those moments is almost impossible. It is difficult for him to even get to the bathroom. It is not recommended to lie down in this state, it is better to choose a sitting position.
After 3-4 hours of torment, slight relief comes. You can drink water, fresh tea without sugar. You should not carry dishes that break, it is better to use metal or plastic devices, it is recommended to drink through a straw.
As soon as the vomit recedes, you need to take a sorbent. Among popular drugs, activated carbon and others. One of the available remedies is 1/2 tablespoon of baking soda. The powder should be washed off with water or tea. After that, do not use any medicine for 1. 5 to 2 hours.
On the first day after abrupt cessation of alcohol, weakness, nausea, and tremor persist. The psychological state is gradually improving. Vivid manifestations of emotions can be observed: laughter, tears. Sleep generally does not occur.
The second day, you can eat, put yourself in order. Little physical activity is appropriate. You need to follow a diet for a week: switch to high-fiber vegetables, dairy products. It is important to maintain the central nervous system: take sedatives, try to normalize sleep.
