How much is too much. What is binge drinking? Binge drinking refers to excessive consumption of alcohol over a short period of time. For a male adult, this is about five or more standard drinks, and for female, four or more drinks, in one drinking session. Binge drinking increases the risk of stroke, liver diseases, high blood pressure, risky behaviour, accidents and death. Drinking in moderationIf you do drink, moderation is the key. Women should drink no more than 2 standard drinks a day and men should limit themselves to 3 standard drinks a day. A standard alcoholic drink contains 10 grams of alcohol, and this can be estimated to be:
Why is the recommended drinking limit lower for women?The recommended drinking limits for women are lower as their bodies have a different fat to muscle ratio and a smaller blood volume as compared to men. With the poor solubility of alcohol in fats, the blood and tissue concentrations of alcohol become higher in women, even when the amount of alcohol consumed is adjusted for the body size. Women may also have lower levels of alcohol dehydrogenase in the stomach than men, and as a result, less alcohol is broken down before absorption. __________________________________________________________ Just some random points so share, was doing some stress management research and came across the above message. That is, people drink to kill stress or like me, to shorten my life span. The words I highlighted in red are there to inform my clubber friends, HAHA. Justina, stop flaming your life away, else you will start slapping me for no reason again. Did I mention I have a friend who slaps people when she is high, I feel like laughing while typing this. This is one of my favourite pic, LOL! __________________________________________________________ Can someone please ask me to speed up.
