    The guideline here is 3 standard drinks per day, more than that and you may be an alcoholic.
    You can do the above within that limit.

    PS:
    I think you have a problem with your shift key, you may want to consider buying a new keyboard. it looks pretty stupid with the jumbled writing.

      That’s… insane. If you’re drinking 3 alcoholic drinks per day you’re not considered an alcoholic?? That seems like an extremely warped view of alcohol vs every other drug.

        Please note this is a maximum! And it’s STANDARD alcoholic drinks:

        https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohols-effects-health/what-standard-drink

        It’s not insane, it’s based on health impact, and probably the fact that 3 standard drinks don’t create dependency.
        1 standard drink is broken down in the body in about 1 hour.

        This is according to Danish health authorities, 3 standard drinks for men and 2 for women per day on average is the max, it’s recommended to not exceed that. But even at maller levels, the principles I stated in my first post remain the same.

      That defines the daily drinker, but a person who only indulges occasionally, but always gets hammered on those occasions, has a serious problem with alcohol as well. That’s a person who can’t control it, and lack of control is a problem.
