Yes, the guidelines for safe amount of units per week are basically arbitrary and not based on anything scientific, and vary a lot by country. [1] For example, where I am from, Canada, the Canada Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines state that men should limit their intake to 15 drinks per week, where a drink is defined as 12 oz of 5% beer, 5 oz of 12% wine, or 1.5 oz of 40% spirit. OP would hardly be exceeding the guidelines if he was from Canada, and not exceeding the guidelines if he was from Fiji. This is why merely looking at the guidelines is dumb instead of the many other visible factors (personal relationships, weight, athletic performance, academics, etc.) [1] https://health.spectator.co.uk/the-great-alcohol-cover-up-ho...

The canadian guidelines are about 240 ml of pure alcohol per week.
At 3 bottles of 12% wine Op is drinking about 270 ml of alcohol.
At 4 bottles of 14% wine op is drinking about 410 ml of alcohol.
Note Canada has higher than expected rates of alcohol related harm:http://www.who.int/substance_abuse/publications/global_alcoh...
