MODERATE OR SAFE LIMIT


 According to Mayo Clinic , moderate use of alcohol may have some health benefits but it's not risk free  . The moderate limit for women of all ages is a drink / day and as for men , over 65 years , is a drink/day and those below 65 yrs are two drinks/day .  Anything above this limit falls under the category of heavy drinking / higher alcohol use

1 drink in terms of quantity defined by Mayo clinic is :

• Beer -  355 ml
• Wine -  148 ml
• Distilled spirit-  44 ml
  (80 proof)

80 proof is 40 % of the liquid is alcohol
