1
Hello and welcome to this Learn English Professionals recording, brought to you by the British Council.
2
Alcohol abuse.
3
Thanks for coming along to the studio today, Damien.
4
We're going to talk about alcohol, and more to the point, alcohol abuse, what we've come to know as binge drinking.
5
Yes, thanks for inviting me, Anne.
6
We keep hearing about cases of binge drinking in the newspapers, on television, in magazines and on radio chat shows like this one.
7
But what exactly is binge drinking?
8
What does the term mean?
9
Is there a difference between binge drinking and just plain old getting drunk?
10
Well, the British Medical Association states that there is no consensus on the definition of binge drinking.
11
In the past, we used the term binge drinking to refer to an extended period of time—a couple of days,
12
for example—when a person would continue to drink alcohol to such an extent that he or she would abandon their usual activities,
13
such as work, or, in the case of younger drinkers, classes.
14
In medical terms, we usually agree that binge drinking refers to the thresholds that we have for holding our drink.
15
Ah.
16
But isn't binge drinking all about drinking lots of alcohol in a short space of time?
17
And don't we usually think of young people when we hear the term used?
18
People who shouldn't really be drinking alcohol in the first place.
19
Well, you are right about the first point.
20
In common usage, probably because of all the recent media coverage,
21
binge drinking has come to mean a heavy bout of drinking in just one evening, or a similar time span.
22
Another factor is the intention.
23
The intention?
24
Yes.
25
The fact that binge drinkers actually set out to get drunk.
26
That's their goal, what they're trying to do.
27
Binge drinkers aren't usually solitary drinkers.
28
They drink in groups, sometimes very large groups, especially in the case of teenagers.
29
And binge drinkers are getting younger and younger, if you believe what you read in the press.
30
So, let's get this clear.
31
Large groups of kids get together with the sole intention of getting drunk?
32
In a nutshell, yes.
33
Ah.
34
And is binge drinking a particularly British problem?
35
Surely young people drink in other countries too?
36
Yes, you're right.
37
Lots of countries have problems with youngsters drinking.
38
But it does seem as though the UK is taking a particular interest in the problem.
39
Let's say that here, In Britain, we see binge drinking as a huge social problem.
40
In other countries, it's perceived as less of a problem.
41
And should we be worried?
42
Is it a problem?
43
Well, that depends.
44
I certainly think so, yes.
45
In 2003, the cost of binge drinking was estimated as £20 billion.
46
The figure will have risen considerably since then, I'm sure.
47
In 2005, the government released figures from the Health Service
48
that suggested that a million accident and emergency admissions each year are a direct result of alcohol consumption.
49
And the emergency services report that Friday and Saturday nights they can hardly cope with the demand for attention.
50
So why are the British so notorious when it comes to binge drinking?
51
Are we worse than other European countries?
52
The culture of drinking in the UK is very different from other countries like France, Spain or Italy.
53
In most mainland European countries, children grow up seeing alcohol consumed slowly, a drop of wine with a meal,
54
the odd beer on a sunny afternoon.
55
In the UK, we go out to the pubs and up until recently, the pubs all closed at 11 on the dot.
56
So, what happens?
57
Well, you drink as fast as you can, so that by the time eleven comes around you aren't left feeling like another drink.
58
Do you think we are used to seeing people drunk in Britain, or do we still get shocked?
59
It depends, really.
60
But being drunk isn't socially acceptable in most European countries, whereas in the UK, well,
61
in some social circles quite the reverse is true.
62
I'm afraid that's all we have time for.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
