2 bottles of wine per week is already quite a bit. If you are a couple, you pop a bottle more than every second day.

- scotty79 4y ago3.5liter beer per week is just one beer per day which a lot of people consider completely benign.

- mytailorisrich 4y agoWhat matters is obviously per person... So "if you are a couple" is completely irrelevant. Terms like 'light', 'moderate' or 'heavy' drinking are relative and must be taken in context. For instance, historically it has been customary in many countries to drink wine with every meal. So 2 bottles per week is indeed moderate as it's about 1-2 glasses per meal. Likewise, 3.5l a beer per week is one beer at dinner, which is considered quite moderate, indeed. Basically, if your drinking is moderate during meals only and no hard liquor this is considerate 'moderate' to normal in traditional terms.
