Moderate Drinking Guidelines

Moderate drinking guidelines recommend that men limit alcohol intake to no more than two standard drinks per day, and women to no more than one. A standard drink typically contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol, roughly equivalent to 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. These limits aim to reduce health risks like liver disease, certain cancers, and accidents. It’s important to consider individual factors such as age, health conditions, and medications, and to seek personalized advice from healthcare providers.
