What is moderate alcohol consumption?

[Mortymoose]

2 beers a day is moderate.... I told my doc I only do two a day, but save them all up for one day of bending...

Do you know what happens after 15 shots of tequila?

4 glasses of wine per day is not moderate. Definitely heavy drinking.

Health authorities in the USA and UK reckon up to 14 per week (2 per day) is moderate.

Also kinda depends on time span. If you're at a braai gathering thing that lasts the entire day then you can clap a serious number of beers...but spread over 10+ hours the body can clear that easily.

I personally shoot for zero drinks on a school night (unless its a company event). Weekends...ja those can get a bit wild.

2 glasses of wine every night I'd consider heavy. Its within prescribed limits, but definitely a "habit" in my eyes. 4 is likely dangerous territory already.

AA is more for softies, I represent real ppl

My medical insurance wants to know how much alcohol I consume.

Pro-tip: When anyone asks this kind of question the best answer is "occasionally". Everyone has wildly different ideas of whats OK.
