I was staggered, at my last health physical, to learn that --light to light/moderate-- alcohol consumption for someone my size is 14 beers a week.

I have 14 beers (or its equivalent hard alcohol) over the course of a month or two, and that still seemed like a lot.

The normal recommendation is 2 "servings (beer, shot, glass of wine) per day, without any roll over. That's the important part. You can't really measure it on a weekly basis as you can't have all of those beers in just a few days.
2 beers a day to be specific. 4+ beers in a single day for a male is in the heavy alcohol use classification
