British scientists, who are trying to identify the risk group, which includes people who abuse alcohol, have come to a terrible conclusion. Men who drink eight servings per night for a week (about a liter and a half of wine) and women who consume six servings (a little over a liter of wine) of alcohol can be classified as potential alcoholics. People who, by their own definition, think they drink a lot are also at risk. The definition of a measure of alcohol, 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
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 signal dysfunction, and an extra glass of wine after dinner can be fatal.
According to the eminent physician, drug addiction is a major problem for alcoholics. He advises to avoid the daily use of drinks with a diploma, for example, three days in a row so as not to drink them at all. Thus, the body, returned to its tonicity, will wean itself from the effects of alcohol, you do not have to use it in large quantities to feel a slight intoxication and obtain a relaxation effect.
Get drunk
The problem is that people often drink more than the body can take without consequences. And they ask themselves the question: if I feel good, after having had half a bottle of wine in one evening, why give up the pleasure? It's not enough to get drunk, but for health damage it is. Not many people know that such a dose corresponds to 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 consumption. 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 is abusive for a woman to drink six or more servings of alcohol per day, for a man - eight. In order to determine how much alcohol you can drink, you should 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;
- 12% wine, 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.
Blood alcohol tests for drivers
A driver is considered sober if the test does not show more than 0. 16 milligrams of alcohol per 1000 milliliters of air when exhaled. Any excess will be recognized as alcohol poisoning. Many people are interested in the question: how much can you drink so that you can "cheat" the breathalyzer? Ideally, not at all. Maximum of fifty milligrams of wine or 20 milligrams of champagne per hour of time, as these alcoholic beverages dissolve quite quickly in the blood. Strong drinks should not be consumed. It should also be remembered 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.
Take a sober outlook on life, and while indulging in your favorite alcoholic drinks, don't ignore the sense of proportion.
