In addition to increasing the risk of injury, binge drinking impairs the body’s ability to heal from those injuries.

“If a person is drunk and gets injured, the person will have more complications when alcohol is present in the body, as opposed to a person who may not have been exposed to alcohol,” said Mashkoor Choudhry, PhD, director of the Alcohol Research Program at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.

Yvette is at greater risk for alcohol related problems because she is binge drinking.

Explanation:

Binge drinking is defined as consuming five or more drinks within about two hours.About 90 percent of the alcohol in your blood is broken down by the liver. For an average person, the liver can only break down about one standard drink per hour. If you drink more alcohol than what your liver can process, your blood alcohol content (BAC) will increase. this will have negative effects on the body.Binge drinking can lead to death from alcohol poisoning. Or by depressing the gag reflex, which puts a person who has passed out at risk of choking on their own vomit.

Binge drinking can also affect your:

1.Heart as it can cause high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, or sudden death from heart failure.

2.Kidneys beacuse alcohol is a diuretic, which causes the kidneys to produce more urine. This, alone or with vomiting, can lead to dehydration and dangerously low levels of sodium, potassium, and other minerals and salts.

3.Lungs beacause alcohol inhibits the gag reflex, which can lead to vomit, saliva, or other substances entering the lungs. This can cause inflammation or infection in the lungs.

4.Pancreas because it can lead to dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
