What “Optimal” Health Is Really Costing You — The Hidden Price Nobody Talks About
Drinking heavily can mean either:
- Having more than 7 drinks in a week for a woman, or more than 14 drinks in a week for a man, or
- Having 4 or more drinks in one sitting for a woman, or 5 or more drinks in one sitting for a man (binge drinking).
(Reminder: A single drink refers to those definitions mentioned previously. Pints of beer, and heavily poured wine glasses and cocktails are more than single servings… Just because it fits in a single glass doesn’t mean it counts as “one” drink.)
Ultimately, it’s about finding the level of risk you’re willing to tolerate relative to whatever benefits you feel alcohol provides you.
