Gee, how did two bottles of wine / 7 pints of beer a week get categorised as light? For me light would be one or two beers a week max.

- scotteric 4y agoConventional wisdom used to be that a glass of wine or a beer everyday was healthy.
- FartyMcFarter 4y agoEven if you're drinking a beer every day, it probably doesn't need to be a whole pint. Most beer bottles / cans are 330ml or close to that. A small glass of wine is also definitely less than the 200ml you'd need to get anywhere near 1.5 liters a week.

- _a_a_a_ 4y agoBrit here, upvoted for the giggle, but behind that I must admit we brits arguably have a serious (as in not at all funny) drug problem and that drug is alcohol.

- _a_a_a_ 4y agoI personally knew someone who drank himself to death, literally. I've heard from reliable sources of quite a few others who did the same, so I reckon it's broke.
- FartyMcFarter 4y agoEven if you ignore those more extreme cases, alcohol is also a contributor to the obesity epidemic in Western countries.
