Which option best summarizes the standard public-health definition of binge drinking?

Consuming two or more drinks for either sex during a single social event, as this small threshold is considered risky by most drinking guidelines.

Any consumption pattern that includes drinking daily, regardless of amount per sitting, because frequency alone defines binge drinking in most guidelines.

Drinking that is binge-level only when it involves distilled spirits rather than beer or wine, since those beverage types are treated differently by research definitions.

Consuming five or more standard drinks for males, or four or more for females, in a short period (commonly within about two hours), producing a blood alcohol concentration likely to reach 0.08% or higher and increasing acute health and safety risks.
