British scientists, trying to identify a risk group, which includes people who abuse alcohol, have come to a terrible conclusion. Men who drink eight servings a night (about one and a half liters of wine) a week and women who consume six servings (a little more than a liter of wine) of alcohol can be classified as potential alcoholics. At risk are also people who, by their own definition, believe they drink a lot. The definition of an alcoholic measure, how to calculate your "critical dose" and what dose of alcohol will already be dangerous for the body - is written below.
How to achieve mild drunkenness
An liver disease expert claims that as people age, they mistakenly believe that they know how to drink alcohol without harming their health. The liver does not signal a malfunction immediately, and an extra glass of wine after dinner can be fatal for her.According to a prominent doctor, addiction is a key problem for alcoholics. He advises you to avoid daily use of drinks with a degree, for example, three days in a row, do not drink them at all. So, the body will, returning to its tone, get used to the effects of alcohol, you do not have to use it in large quantities to feel a little intoxicated and achieve a relaxing effect.
Intoxication
The problem is that people often drink more than the body can accept without consequences. And they ask themselves the question: if I feel good, after taking half a bottle of wine in one evening, why would I give up pleasure? It’s not enough to get drunk, but because of the health damage it is. Few people know that such a dose is five servings of alcohol, which significantly exceeds the daily norm not only for women, but also for men.
How many women and men can drink
The physical parameters of the stronger and weaker sex differ in the recommended doses of alcohol intake. Therefore, there is a big difference between how much a man should drink to stay within the bounds of decency and how many women should do it.
Abuse is a woman drinking six or more servings of alcohol a day and a man drinking eight. To determine how much alcohol you can drink, you must also consider your health, height, weight and age.
Number of servings of alcohol in popular drinks:
- beer: 0, 5 l. - about 3;
- wine 12%, 170 ml - 2, 1;
- liqueur: 17%, 50 ml - 0, 9;
- champagne: 12%, 17 ml - 2, 1;
- vodka: 37, 5%, 25 ml - 0, 9;
- whiskey: 40%, 35 ml - 1, 4.
Alcohol tests for drivers
A driver is considered sober if the test shows no more than 0. 16 milligrams of alcohol per 1000 milliliters of air on exhalation. Any excess will be recognized as alcohol intoxication. Many are interested in the question: how much can you drink to be able to "cheat" an alcohol test? Ideally, not at all. A maximum of fifty milligrams of wine or 20 milligrams of champagne per hour, because such alcoholic beverages dissolve in the blood quite quickly. Strong drinks should not be consumed. It is also worth remembering that the concentration of alcohol in the blood depends on many factors: weight, time of intake, etc. , So it is very difficult to accurately guess the allowable rate.
Look at life soberly and, while admiring your favorite alcoholic beverages, don't neglect your sense of proportion.
