From your cited link:
Quantity of alcohol taken: Consumption of 60–80g per
day (14g is considered one standard drink in the USA;
drinking a six-pack of beer daily would be at the top
of the range) for 20 years or more in men, or 20g/day
(about 25 mL/day) for women significantly increases the
risk of hepatitis and fibrosis by 7% to 47%
Pattern of drinking: Drinking outside of meal times
increases up to 3 times the risk of alcoholic liver
disease.
Okay, so my numbers were measurably low, by your citation. 6 beers daily, and at least some outside of meals.
But, in conversation, people still roll their eyes at those numbers, because they still sound like low numbers.
Regardless, this new evidence claims that ONE UNIT DAILY results in measurable health problems.
