abstract="Techniques and procedures of Strauss and Corbin's grounded theory were used to develop a conditional matrix on binge-drinking in Britain, reflecting data of 32 participants, aged between 22 and 58. The core category was &quot;binge-drinking as a social and cultural phenomenon&quot;. Results show the value of binge-drinking as an enjoyable way of socializing and counter-balancing the demands of daily hassles and routines. Intervening and contextual factors indicate fluctuations in binge-drinking behaviour and the social and cultural constraints that may operate, such as &quot;no drink-driving&quot;, &quot;not when the next day is a work day&quot; and &quot;not on one's own&quot;.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
