They are not recommending that you drink 4 drinks every day, but right now guidelines come in two forms: 1. Drinks per week, eg 14 drinks/week 2. Average drinks per day, eg 4 drinks/day If you drink your entire drinks per week in a day, that's really bad. If you drink your average drinks per day, every day, that's also bad. For others who might be reading this: You should have some days (ideally a majority) in which you don't drink at all, some days in which you drink at or below the daily guideline, and you probably aren't all the worse off if you occasionally exceed the daily average guideline.
