Dietary Guidelines for Americans

If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation.

What is Moderation?
Women: No more than one drink a day
Men: No more than two drinks a day
(This limit is based on differences between the sexes in both weight and metabolism.)

Count as a Drink ... • 12 ounces of regular beer (150 calories)
• 5 ounces of wine (100 calories)
• 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits (100 calories)
(This limit is based on differences between the sexes in both weight and metabolism.)

Alcoholic beverages supply calories but few nutrients. Alcoholic beverages are harmful when consumed in excess, and some people should not drink at all. Excess alcohol alters judgment and can lead to dependency and a great many other serious health problems. Taking more than one drink per day for women or two drinks per day for men can raise the risk for motor vehicle crashes, other injuries, high blood pressure, stroke, violence, suicide and certain types of cancer. Even one drink per day can slightly raise the risk of breast cancer.

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy increases risk of birth defects. Too much alcohol may cause social and psychological problems, cirrhosis of the liver, inflammation of the pancreas, and damage to the brain and heart. Heavy drinkers also are at risk of malnutrition because alcohol contains calories that may substitute for those in nutritious foods. If adults choose to drink alcoholic beverages, they should consume them only in moderation and with meals to slow alcohol absorption.

Drinking in moderation may lower risk for coronary heart disease, mainly among men over age 45 and women over age 55. However, there are other factors that reduce the risk of heart disease, including a healthy diet, physical activity, avoidance of smoking, and maintenance of a healthy weight.

Moderate consumption provides little, if any, health benefit for younger people. Risk of alcohol abuse increases when drinking starts at an early age. Some studies suggest that older people may become more sensitive to the effects of alcohol as they age.

Who should not drink?
Some people should not drink alcoholic beverages at all. These include:

Children and adolescents.

Individuals of any age who cannot restrict their drinking to moderate levels.
This is a special concern for recovering alcoholics, problem drinkers, and people whose family members have alcohol problems.

Women who may become pregnant or who are pregnant.
A safe level of alcohol intake has not been established for women at any time during pregnancy, including the first few weeks. Major birth defects, including fetal alcohol syndrome, can be caused by heavy drinking by the pregnant mother. Other fetal alcohol effects may occur at lower levels.

Individuals who plan to drive, operate machinery, or take part in other activities that require attention, skill or coordination.
Most people retain some alcohol in the blood up to 2 to 3 hours after a single drink.

Individuals taking prescription or over-the counter medications that can interact with alcohol.
Alcohol alters the effectiveness or toxicity of many medications, and some medications may increase blood alcohol levels. If you take medications, ask your health care provider for advice about alcohol intake, especially if you are an older adult.





Advice For Today

• If you choose to drink alcoholic beverages, do so sensibly, and in moderation.
• Limit intake to one drink per day for women or two per day for men. Eating food while drinking will slow alcohol absorption.
• Avoid drinking before or when driving, or whenever it puts you or others at risk.

(from Fifth Edition, 2000, US Department of Agriculture, US Department of Health and Human Services, pp. 36-37.)



Most adults who drink alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, or liquor) consume safe and healthy amounts. For others, unsafe drinking patterns increase their risk for injury, illness or future alcohol problems. And, for 1 in 13 American adults, alcohol abuse or alcohol dependence (alcoholism) causes substantial harm to their health and disruption in their lives.

Answer 2

Mom said- no more than
one an hour, two a day , three a week

But I became an alcoholic anyway. I say, when you begin compromising your values in order to get or stay loaded. When you can't remember some of the things that happened last night.

When you ask that question, you're probably drinking too much.

Well lets see.......

You know you had too much alcohol if the fire dancer at the luau asks you to please breath the other way.

You know you had too much alcohol if you comment your wife about the delicious soup but
you actually drank your pudding.

You know you had too much alcohol if you wake up in your neighbors dog house and your mouth smell like dogie breath.

You know you had too much alcohol when your wife find you hugging the toilet bowl.

And especially when you use words like msuch and say things like "I'm not as trunk as you dink"

If any of the above makes you remember something similar then it may be time to quit. LOL
