Risky Drinking

Risky drinking refers to a pattern of alcohol consumption that increases the likelihood of negative health outcomes, accidents, or addiction. It typically means consuming more than the recommended limits—for example, exceeding 14 standard drinks per week for men or 7 for women. Risky drinking can lead to problems such as liver disease, mental health issues, and impaired judgment. Recognizing risky drinking behavior is important for taking steps toward healthier habits and reducing potential harm to oneself and others. Awareness and moderation are key components in maintaining a healthier relationship with alcohol.
