    That’s… insane. If you’re drinking 3 alcoholic drinks per day you’re not considered an alcoholic?? That seems like an extremely warped view of alcohol vs every other drug.

      Please note this is a maximum! And it’s STANDARD alcoholic drinks:

      It’s not insane, it’s based on health impact, and probably the fact that 3 standard drinks don’t create dependency.
      1 standard drink is broken down in the body in about 1 hour.

      This is according to Danish health authorities, 3 standard drinks for men and 2 for women per day on average is the max, it’s recommended to not exceed that. But even at maller levels, the principles I stated in my first post remain the same.
