British scientists, trying to identify the risk group, which includes people who abuse alcohol, have come to a terrible conclusion. Men who drink eight servings a night for a week (about a liter and a half of wine) and women who drink six servings (a little over a liter of wine) of alcohol can be classified as potential alcoholics. People who, by their own definition, think they drink heavily are also at risk. The definition of a measure of alcohol, how to calculate its "critical dose" and what dose of alcohol will already be dangerous for the body - is written below.
How to get mild drunk
A liver disease specialist claims that as people age, they mistakenly believe they know how to drink alcohol without harming their health. The liver does not immediately indicate a malfunction and an extra glass of wine after dinner can be fatal to it.
According to the eminent physician, addiction is a key problem for alcoholics. Advises to avoid the daily use of drinks with a degree, for example, three days in a row so as not to drink them at all. So, the body, having returned to its tone, will be weaned from the effects of alcohol, it is not necessary to use it in large quantities to feel a slight intoxication and achieve a relaxation effect.
Getting drunk
The problem is that people often drink more than the body can accept without consequences. And they ask themselves the question: if I feel good, after having half a bottle of wine in one night, why give up pleasure? This is not enough to get drunk, but it is enough to harm your health. Few people know that that dose is five servings of alcohol, which is significantly higher than the daily norm not only for women, but also for men.
How much can a man and a woman drink?
The physical parameters of the stronger and weaker sex differ in the recommended doses of alcohol intake. So there is a big difference between how much a man needs to drink to stay within the bounds of decency and how much a woman needs to do.
It is abuse for a woman to drink six or more servings of alcohol a day, for a man eight. To determine the amount of alcohol you can drink, you must also take into account your health, height, weight, and age.
The number of servings of alcohol in popular drinks:
- beer: 0. 5 l. - about 3;
- wine 12%, 170 ml - 2. 1;
- liquor: 17%, 50 ml - 0. 9;
- champagne: 12%, 17 ml - 2, 1;
- vodka: 37. 5%, 25 ml - 0. 9;
- whiskey: 40%, 35 ml - 1, 4.
Driver Alcohol Tests
A driver is considered sober if the test shows no more than 0. 16 milligrams of alcohol per 1000 milliliters of air when exhaling. Any excess will be recognized as alcohol intoxication. Many people are interested in the question: how much can you drink to be able to "cheat" the breathalyzer? Ideally, not at all. Maximum fifty milligrams of wine or 20 milligrams of champagne per hour of time, as these alcoholic beverages dissolve fairly quickly in the blood. Strong drinks should not be consumed. It is also worth remembering that the concentration of alcohol in the blood depends on many factors: weight, time of intake, etc. , so it's very difficult to accurately guess the allowable rate.
Take a sober look at life, and as you delight in your favorite alcoholic beverages, don't ignore the sense of proportion.
