Web site can tell you if you’re drinking too much
By Kim Margolis
A new government Web site can determine if you are in danger of alcohol problems by the number of alcoholic beverages a person drinks daily and weekly.
The Web site is called “Rethinking Drinking” because the intent is focusing on people before they become abusive or dependent on alcohol so they can avoid problem drinking and alcoholism, according to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
The numbers might surprise some. A woman is in no danger of alcohol problems if she has no more than 3 drinks in one day. That sounds like a lot, but the total for the week is a maximum of seven days.
A man is in no danger of alcohol problems if he drinks no more than 4 drinks per day and 14 weekly.
Drinking more than any of those levels increases the risk of various levels of alcohol dependence and abuse.
Currently, 35 percent of Americans don’t drink at all; 37 percent stay within the daily and weekly limits; 19 percent exceed either the daily or weekly limits. About 9 percent exceed both limits.
The Web site is www.rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov

Отлично написано, но как говорится, для полноты информации нужно как минимум хотя бы три источника :)

Статья оставила сложное, неоднозначное, впечатление… Даже не знаю, что сказать… Нужно время, чтобы обдумать прочитанное.
