True, although it is an ideologically-based definition inconsistent with the clinical definition traditionally used by professionals. According to the four or more drinks definition, the woman would be a binge drinker even though she might not even be intoxicated! In actual practice, the drinks are typically consumed over a period of four to five hours, according to research. Thus, the new definition exaggerates to a high degree the number of binge drinkers.
