One drink a day is seven a week. If your family describe you as regularly having more, I doubt you're having eight. More likely you're getting drunk on a regular basis.

- boomboomsubban 2y agoThe cohorts are fairly clearly separated into "doesn't drink," "drinks moderately," and "drinks heavily." They have to define them somehow, and "regularly drinks more than one drink a day" seems like a good way to do so. I'm sure some people are misclassified in both groups. If you're improperly classified because once a week you have two glasses of wine rather than one, I doubt your risk is that much higher. That said, moderate and heavy drinkers saw the same rates.
- zabzonk 2y agoMy point is that one drink a day is in no way "heavy drinking" - that would be one bottle of wine a day, or more. But I don't care. Nobody lives forever. If you enjoy drinking, and don't harm anyone but yourself doing so, then why not?
- boomboomsubban 2y agoOne drink a day is seven drinks a week. The article agrees it isn't heavy drinking.
