> Here, we show that the negative associations between alcohol intake and brain macrostructure and microstructure are already apparent in individuals consuming an average of only one to two DAUs (daily alcohol units), and become stronger as alcohol intake increases.
It should be noted that a single 'weak' 5% beer is 1.65 DAUs.
- metadat 4y agoDoes this mean no more megapints? Seriously though, why doesn't the unit of 1 DAU correspond with any existing commercial form factors? A single 12oz 5% beer would be a more helpful starting point.
- triyambakam 4y agoIn the UK it's common to see bottles labeled with how many units it is... maybe that's not the case where you are?
- p1necone 4y agoThis helps, but it's still unintuitive that the "standard unit drink" is not the same as the actual standard drink that most people consume. 330ml @ 4.5-5% abv (a fairly typical mass market beer) would make way more sense to me. A lot of people are going to assume that 1 standard drink === 1 glass of wine/beer. They're not going to read the fine print on government messaging.
