Key Points Question What changes in circulating lipid and liver function enzyme levels are associated with high-intensity binge drinking? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 1519 participants, high-intensity binge drinking was associated with increased cholesterol, triglyceride, and liver function enzyme levels. Meaning Lipid and liver function enzyme levels demonstrate dose-dependent increases with high-intensity binge drinking, indicating potential adverse health outcomes may be associated with such drinking behavior.
