A bottle is 750mL, or ~26oz. Five bottles, then divide by two, then by 7, and you're on average drinking 267 mL each, or 9 ounces per day. That's just under 2

A bottle is 750mL, or ~26oz. Five bottles, then divide by two, then by 7, and you're on average drinking 267 mL each, or 9 ounces per day. That's just under 2 'standard' drinks here. In some restaurants that's a single pour.
Anyhow, that sort of consumption is pretty average in many parts of the world, Europe for example. And far from excessive.
- michaelchisari 11y ago> that sort of consumption is pretty average in many parts of the world, Europe for example. The highest consumption of alcohol is Estonia, at 415.9oz of pure alcohol a year. Taking wine at 12% alcohol content, that's 3,465oz per year. That's 9.49oz per day. I simply disagree that matching the highest consumption rate in the world is recommended, especially when a country like Italy , among one of the top wine producing countries, is at half that rate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_consumption_per_capita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_alcohol_co...
