The alcohol industry says a survey it commissioned has found that many Irish people are unaware of what constitutes binge drinking.
The official definition is five alcoholic units for women and seven for men.
This equates to two-and-a-half pints of beer for women and three-and-a-half for men.
However, the survey for the Drinks Industry Group of Ireland found that 27% of Irish adults assume it means consuming more than 10 alcoholic drinks in one session.
Another 27% think it means consuming between seven and nine drinks, while 24% think it means five or six drinks.
