Wine isn’t a spirit (nor is beer). That number is about distilled alcohol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquor: “Liquor or spirit (also distilled alcohol) is an alcoholic drink produced by distillation of grains, fruits, or vegetables that have already gone through alcoholic fermentation. […] Liquor generally has an alcohol concentration higher than 30%” ⇒ For a 10% alcohol wine, multiply that by a factor of (at least) 3. That makes it a bottle of wine a day. Also, it was the average adult. Women likely consumed less alcohol. If so, the average adult male must have consumed more. |
