> The review found that the risks of dying prematurely increase significantly for women once they drink 25 grams of alcohol a day, which is less than two standard cocktails containing 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, two 12-ounce beers or two 5-ounce glasses of wine. The risks to men increase significantly at 45 grams of alcohol a day, or just over three drinks.
That's over 2/3 of a bottle of red wine for men (530ml) a day - I would call that far from moderate. The UK recommendation is to drink less than twice that a week!

- tomjen3 4y agoI got a lot more confused now: does an entire bottle of wine really only contain 5 drinks?
- helsinkiandrew 4y agoDepends on how big your glass is! A 12% bottle of wine contains 71g of alcohol. So if 3 of their drinks is 45g it contains just 4.73 - 160ml a glass. > The conversion formula is % vol x 7.894 = grams of alcohol per litre (g/l) of wine. At 12% vol, this gives 94.7 g/l. In a 0.75 litre bottle of wine, this is 71 g of pure alcohol. An eighth of wine contains approximately the same amount of grams of alcohol as it has percent by volume https://glossary.wein.plus/alcohol-content https://glossary.wein.plus/alcohol-content
- tomjen3 4y agoI was surprised. A standard US drink is 14g, so there is almost exactly 5 drinks in a bottle of wine.
