Horizon: Is Binge Drinking Really That Bad? (2015)
How bad can our drinking pattern be for our health? Doctors and genetically identical twins Chris and Xand van Tulleken want to find out. The twins embark on self-experimentation to see the effects of different drinking patterns on their health. With Chris drinking 21 units spread evenly across the week and Xand having his 21 in single weekly binges, how will their bodies differ after a month?

Is there an upload where they explain how they define binge drinking for this study?
Yeah they said the level should be lowered but we dont even know what it is
If you look in the description it explains that Chris drank 21 units spread evenly (3 units/day) and Xand drank 21 units per week in one single sitting. You can google "units of alcohol" to find equivalencies based on alcohol content for a specific beverage type.
@@sgnMark ah that wasnt there when the vid went live.
Have a look at your government's advised levels
I fancy a drink after watching that 🤷🏻♂️
Sipping a double IPA.. “hmm”
based
Beer, Vodka, Whiskey, etc manufactures REALLY don't want you to see this
Hmm I'm having a flashback to a few years ago watching this...
Thank you!
What’s your feelings on fasting diets? Any good scientific information on that?
I wish there was a Spanish subtitled version of this video so people where I work could see what they’re doing to themselves by binge drinking every weekend.
Make it so
Wait, alcohol is bad for you? Wow! Surprise!!
Interesting.
Full episode?
Finally, we get the answer!
Faites-vous bien peur avec tout, et surtout arrêtez de vivre...
À la vôtre !
I have bad fits now after drinking 1 bottle of vodka or more a day
Try 2 bottles you need an even number for it to be healthy
week 4? of what? some kind of drinking or same different? how much? chopped up and spread out for incomprehension. =þ
They drink a weekly 21 units each for 4 weeks. One binges (drinking his weekly amount in one sitting), while the other spaces them out (by drinking 3 units per day of the week, for the same total of 21 units).
Which is worse? That was the original question the twins we’re trying to answer. One of the conclusions at the end of this video was that alcohol in that amount over those 4 consecutive weeks is always bad for you, regardless of whether you binge it or space it out. And it made the twins reach levels or certain specific compounds, which you’d normally only see in someone with liver disease. Which the twins currently didn’t have.
@@EonWhite Thanks! 👍
Alcohol... yuk!
Why does the narrator look like Jimmy Carr?
My liver is evil, I must kill it.
The liver is the unsung and undeserved hero, which fights against the villain that is one of the most common ways to socialise in modern society - drinking alcohol.
Is that guy on the right actually the brother of Jimmy Carr tho? Look at that face and listen to that voice. It's eerie.
Most intriguing
I recently got hammered with my cousin off a couple Of pints of ale, a whole bottle of rum and cola!
😮🥃🍻👬
Going cold turkey for at least a fortnight
interesting from an educational and information perspective but honestly the results change nothing for me. life will kill you. When it comes to health and death. worry about enjoying the trip there not getting there.
You know what's an enjoyable experience? Jumping from a cliff! But somehow, I doubt you'll be willing to try that. Life is about enjoying being alive.
@@LyleGlenn lol well done literally saying what I was saying. Yes, jumping from a cliff is enjoyable it's called base jumping and you use a parachute so you can do it again and again but you do run the risk one of those times it may not open and you'll die. Kinda like alcohol is an enjoyable experience you can do and do again but you run the risk of it killing you in the long term.
What you're trying to say is I wouldnt kill myself having a good experience and you're right I wouldn't. If alcohol was instant death then duh no one would drink it. But driving fast, parachuting, combat sports, alcohol, drugs and so on are all experiences that risk killing you or causing long term damage but will allow you to enjoy being alive because that's how you enjoy being alive by experiencing it but by experiencing life and enjoying it you run the risk of it killing you because dun dun duuun...Life will kill you so just do whatever and enjoy it and stop worrying about how it will.
@@fatmandoobius > You seem to contradict yourself, when you claim to not care about dying, but claim to not want to die.
@@LyleGlenn And you struggle to grasp basic logic. Am I bothered about dying in general or how? No.
Does that mean I should just kill myself. No because why would it...
Am I willing to risk death to enjoy living? Weighing up the risks and being okay with them then yes I am. Because then it makes life interesting and worth living.
Not sure what you dont grasp there but that's about as simplified as I can make it for you. If you want to go hide in your room do nothing dangerous or detrimental to your health and live twice as long as me you do you dude. I'm enjoying mine you worry about keeping yours going each to their own.
Panicking from Cochin, India.
Never smoked; only started drinking alcohol when Lancet published a study claiming moderate alcohol consumption reduced arthritis risk (mother has a crappy life due to it;genetic history)
Made it one drink a month when it was conclusively declared to be a carcinogen.
Now going to be a Teetotaler. I now despise slow scientific Research.
Surprised to see a mallu saying no to alcohol 🎉.. Good for you
Gello mr porfesiore and sahr iam hestori toking veri naci and mai famili duon and no mani wool di wold mani iam

Alcohol is a known carcinogen. How can a responsible physician not tell his patients to stop drinking completely?
They need you to come back and buy drugs to keep the £££ rolling
Because it's bad for a doctor's business to tell patients to do healthy things. They need repeat customers, they need sick people.
@@DEO777 lmao what?! These NHS doctors don’t get paid for how many customers they have ahahah
And it’s slightly unrealistic to expect everyone to become T-total in this society’s climate. Plus a lot of things are carcinogens eg London’s air, but that doesn’t stop Londoners leaving their homes
@@Macarite English must be your second language, because your comment makes no sense if you understood the subtleties of English. There's a difference between "a doctor's" and "these doctors".
Alcohol is bad for your body n for your mind also. How Islam warn you about this.
aaaaand this is one of the reasons why it's haram in Islam.
Alla hu Akbar
Does anyone really care?
Why are u here if u don’t care
@@Macarite As I'm still allowed to listen and as far as I'm aware, ask questions.
@@aaaatttt101 Well then, the answer to your question is "yes".
No drinker will stop after hearing this
@@Zothaqqua lmao exactly ahaha
First hahaha
