Clarifying the Difference Between Binge Drinking and Alcoholism

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much people tend to confuse binge drinking with alcoholism. I have friends who binge drink occasionally, but I wasn’t sure how that differs from being an alcoholic. It made me curious to find out if one behavior can lead to the other or if they’re entirely separate issues. I stumbled across an insightful article at https://unitedrecoveryproject.com/rehab-blog/binge-drinking-vs-alcoholism/ that explains the differences clearly. This might be helpful for anyone else who's also trying to understand how these behaviors relate to each other.
