How much alcohol is consumed?



Alcohol consumption varies widely among individuals, but moderate drinking is defined as up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [2]. One drink is defined as 12 fluid ounces of beer, 5 fluid ounces of wine, or 1.5 fluid ounces of distilled spirits [2].

However, binge drinking, which is defined as consuming four or more drinks for women and five or more drinks for men within two hours, can have serious health consequences [3]. Binge drinking can lead to alcohol poisoning, car crashes, and other injuries, as well as long-term health problems such as liver disease, cancer, and high blood pressure [3].

It is important to note that alcohol consumption can also vary based on the type of alcohol and the individual's age, weight, and overall health [1]. It is also important to drink responsibly and in moderation to avoid negative health consequences [2].
