A single session of binge drinking does not an alcoholic make. An "alcoholic" is defined by their regular abuse of alcohol, not a single instance of binge drinking. Binge drinking can obviously be a symptom of alcoholism, but IMO it's not appropriate to declare people you don't know are alcoholics based on a comment about an theoretical instance of binge drinking.

A baseball season has a minimum of 162 games. Even if you play one-beer-per-inning only 1 in 20 games (5% of the time) and only when watching your team, that’s more than once a month for the six month regular season. Alcohol causes problems besides alcoholism.

  Who said anything about doing this for an entire season? Of course that would be stupid.

  Ok, and if you did it in 20/20 games it would be a huge problem (probably life-threatening) and if you did it in 0/20 games, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
