alcohol consumption limits
Alcohol consumption limits refer to the recommended maximum amount of alcohol a person can drink to reduce health and safety risks. For example, many health organizations suggest that men should not exceed 14 standard drinks per week, with no more than 4 on any single day. Women are advised to stay below 7 standard drinks weekly, with a maximum of 3 on a single day. A "standard drink" typically contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol, found in roughly 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of spirits. These guidelines help balance enjoyment with health and safety considerations.
