The safe amount of beer to consume weekly can vary depending on factors such as your overall health, age, and whether you have any pre-existing conditions.
However, general guidelines suggest that moderate drinking is key.For most adults, moderate drinking is defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as up to:
– 1 drink per day for women
– 2 drinks per day for men
This translates to 7 drinks per week for women and 14 drinks per week for men. One drink is typically considered to be:
– 12 ounces of beer (with about 5% alcohol content).
Exceeding these limits regularly can increase the risk of various health issues such as liver disease, heart problems, and mental health conditions.
It’s also important to consider your personal health status—if you have liver disease, are pregnant, or are on certain medications, you may need to avoid alcohol altogether.
If you’re unsure about how much is safe for you, it’s always best to consult a healthcare provider.
