Alcoholism

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that if you choose to drink alcohol you do so only in moderation — up to one drink a day for women or two drinks a day for men.

Examples of one drink include:
Beer: 12 fluid ounces (355 milliliters)
Wine: 5 fluid ounces (148 milliliters)
Distilled spirits (80 proof): 1.5 fluid ounces (44 milliliters)

Excessive drinking includes heavy drinking, binge drinking, and any drinking by pregnant women or underage youth.
Binge drinking, the most common form of excessive alcohol consumption, is defined as consuming
For women, 4 or more drinks during a single occasion.
For men, 5 or more drinks during a single occasion.
Heavy drinking is defined as consuming
For women, more than 1 drink per day on average.
For men, more than 2 drinks per day on average.

Note: Most people who binge drink are not alcoholics or alcohol dependent.
