British scientists, trying to identify the risk group, which includes people who abuse alcohol, have come to a terrible conclusion. Men who drink eight servings a night for a week (about one and a half liters of wine) and women who drink six servings (just over a liter of wine) of alcohol can be classified as potential alcoholics. People who, by definition, believe they drink a lot are also at risk. The definition of an alcohol measure, how to calculate your "critical dose" and which alcohol dose will already be dangerous for the body - is written below.
How to get a mild drunkenness
A liver disease specialist says that as people get older, people mistakenly believe they know how to drink alcohol without harming their health. The liver does not immediately report a malfunction, and an extra glass of wine after dinner can be fatal.
According to the eminent physician, addiction is a key problem for alcoholics. Recommend avoiding the daily use of graduated drinks, for example, for three consecutive days, not to drink them at all. Thus, the body, returned to its tone, will wean itself from the effects of alcohol, you do not have to use it in large quantities to feel a slight intoxication and achieve a relaxation effect.
Getting drunk
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 drinking half a bottle of wine in one evening, why give up pleasure? This is not enough to get drunk, but for 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 much can a woman and a man drink
The physical parameters of the stronger and weaker sex differ in the recommended dosages of alcohol intake. Therefore, there is a big difference between how much a man needs to drink to stay within the bounds of decency and how much a woman needs to do so.
It's abusive for a woman to drink six or more servings of alcohol a day, for a man - eight. To determine how much alcohol you can drink, you must also take into account your health, height, weight and age.
The 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%, 25ml - 0. 9;
- whiskey: 40%, 35 ml - 1. 4.
Alcohol test for drivers
A driver is considered sober if the test shows no more than 0. 16 milligrams of alcohol per 1000 milliliters of air when exhaled. Any excess will be recognized as alcoholic intoxication. Many people are interested in the question: how much can you drink in order to "fool" the breathalyser? Ideally, not at all. Maximum fifty milligrams of wine or 20 milligrams of champagne per hour of time, as such alcoholic beverages dissolve rather quickly in the blood. 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, and so on, so it is very difficult to accurately guess the allowable rate.
Take a sober view of life and, while delighting in your favorite alcoholic beverages, don't ignore the sense of proportion.
