As a Mediterranean man, my perception (possibly biased, of course), is that 6 to 8 glasses of wine a week seem excessive as a standard for moderate consumption.

As a Mediterranean man, my perception (possibly biased, of course), is that 6 to 8 glasses of wine a week seem excessive as a standard for moderate consumption. I think I drink moderately, and in the last 3 weeks I had two, maybe three glasses of wine and maybe 5 beers. Weekend binging is more excessive for younger people, but I don't see people my age drinking in working hours, only older men. Cheers!
