abstract="Aims: To correlate binge drinking (BD) with alcohol-related problems (ARP) in the Brazilian population. <br><br>METHODS: A representative cross-sectional survey was conducted in 143 Brazilian cities. Associations between the frequencies of BD and ARP were gathered using an ordered logit regression model. <br><br>RESULTS: Higher BD frequencies significantly increased the chance of injury in accidents, job loss, and involvement in intense arguments and assaults over the year. High frequency in BD increases the odds of all ARP. <br><br>CONCLUSION: There is a dose-response association between the frequency BD and ARP and is therefore a possible target for public prevention policies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
