What is low risk drinking?

Governments of many countries have guidelines for ‘safe’ or
‘low-risk’ drinking for adults, set at a level at which there is little health risk for most people. It should be noted however that individuals do differ in terms of what level will cause harm. Therefore, despite the guidelines, what is most important is for you “to know your limits”.

WHO low-risk drinking definition is: 

(2) Women do not drink more than two drinks a day on average

(3) For men, not more than three drinks a day on average

(4) Try not to exceed four drinks on any one occasion

(0) Not to drink alcohol in some situations, such as when driving, if pregnant or in certain work situations and to abstain from drinking at least once a week.

Men or women who consistently drink more than these recommended levels may increase risks to their health.
