What is binge -drinking

Binge-Drinkers or binge drinking is the partaking of alcohol in small quantities but more than twice or more times in the day.Most binge-drinkers are from the age of 20-30 years and 50-80 years.The 20-30 years old binge-drinkers mostly consume cheap alcohol known as Makali (bitter) in Swahili which is harmful to their bodies once they consume it more than twice in a day. The Makali or these bitter alcohols mostly contain high percentage of alcohol The 50-80-year-old binge drinkers mostly consume Scotch whiskies and high proof vodkas from 40-80% ABV (alcohol by volume)

Research shows most of the binge-drinkers have the tendency of believing when they drink in small amount will help reduce much intake of alcohol or not get drunk fast compared when in the bar, but they tend to forget the times they will be consuming the small alcohol. Also, most binge-drinkers are people who might avoiding the staying in the bar since they don’t want to get much drunk from the peer pleasure, trying to reduce alcohol intake or busy to be at the bar or clubs, or people who cannot function without alcohol, so they buy the alcohol and pack them at home, workshops or offices.

If you are one of the binge-drinker or any one looking for a way to cut down an alcohol without cutting it out completely, reduce or lower alcohol drinking, here are some of drinks with low alcohol percentage that might help.

Low-alcohol drinks refers to drinks which have an alcoholic strength by volume of between 0.05 to 12% .For example, if you regularly have a couple of glasses of wine with 12% ABV after work, you can switch to a 5.5% ABV wine instead of the usual 12-14% ABV can more than halve the number of units you drink in a evening, making a huge difference over a week and reducing your risk of longer-term harm.

Alcohol such as vermouth, sherry, port and beer cocktails are the new low ABV BFFs. Example of vermouths is Negroni, Martini, Rossi Rosso and Gancia Rosso, An Americano, A spiked Arnold Palmer, An alternative G&T, Campari and soda, Ginger ale and vermouth, A lemon lime bitters, A low -ABV Gin fizz and Carpano Classico.

Here are the 5 simplest low-ABV drink that can be prepared any time at home or at your favourite bar.

1. Negroni

The Negroni is easy to make and refreshingly bitter. The key to a great Negroni is finding a gin-vermouth pairing that complements, rather than overpowers, the bitter, bold flavors of Campari.

Ingredients

· 1-ounce gin

· 1-ounce Campari

· 1-ounce sweet vermouth

· Garnish: orange peel

Steps

1. Add the gin, Campari and sweet vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir until well-chilled.

2. Strain into a rock glass filled with large ice cubes

3. Garnish with an orange peel and enjoy

4. This cocktail can be stored in a fridge for days and can be consumed as a replace of that strong vodka or scotch binge-drink.

2.An alternative G&T

Nothing says summertime like G&T (or vodka and tonic if you’re so inclined). For a low-ABV alternative, switch out the spirit for a fortified wine like sherry (the She & T) or white port. Look for a crisper dry sherry like Fino or Manzanillla for an almost savory tipple that’s the perfect alternative for a G&T as summer drink.
