So the French seem to be trying to outlaw binge drinking, which they're defining as more than four

[Berni]

or five units being consumed in two hours. That's about half a bottle of wine. I drink that in 20 minutes. :-(

out a bottle these days..glasses seem stupidly large.. but i always like to start fast to get the effect then can slow.. its like having a line i guess..thats maybe why i like a shot to start or something then can take it easy and enjoy the wine.

[Berni]

thinking: 'Oh, I've only just started. I needn't worry about having too much yet'. So you'll guzzle the first glass or so, then realise you're going to have to slow down or you'll be into your second bottle and that way lies a bad day at the office.

How are they intending to outlaw it, exactly?

how are they going to define a unit of alcohol? Is there even a technical definition of a unit of alcohol?

The French, and most of Europe actually, don't really *do* binge drinking anyway. Not the way we understand it.
