safe drinking guidelines

Safe 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, found in 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of spirits. Consuming alcohol within these limits reduces the risk of health problems such as liver disease, heart issues, and accidents. It's also best to have alcohol-free days each week, and avoid drinking when pregnant, taking medication, or planning to drive. Always consider individual health conditions and consult a healthcare professional if unsure.
