A structural MRI study of differential neuromorphometric characteristics of binge and heavy drinking

Alcohol misuse often manifests in two different patterns of drinking; Binge Drinking (BD; ≥4 (women) or？≥？5 (men) drinks/day, ≤12？days/month) or Heavy Drinking (HD; ≥3 (women) or ≥4 (men) drinks/day, ≥16？days/month). Although direct comparisons have not been made, structural MRI studies indicate that the two types of drinking behaviors might be associated with different neuromorphometric characteristics
