      About 1 a day – if you’re going over that, you’d be considered a “heavy drinker”

      But even that much is still “bad” for you, just not as bad.

        My wife worries about my drinking. I might have 18 cans of beer in a year if I’m really going crazy.

      The other comment is a pretty good baseline (1 a day), but there is some nuance to it. Gender/body size/age, etc all play a role. And it matters if youre literally doing 1 a day or averaging 1 a day. Having 7 drinks every saturday is not the same and have 1 drink with dinner every day.

      The best answer is, consult your medical professional

        And even then, if you’re having 1 a day, you are right up at the edge of being a “heavy drinker”.

        New recommendations are something like 2 per week max.
