the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse and Addiction just released a new report[1] on Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines.

> Among healthy individuals, there is a continuum of risk for alcohol-related harms whereby the risk is: > • Negligible to low for individuals who consume two standard drinks or less per week; > • Moderate for those who consume between three and six standard drinks per week; and > • Increasingly high for those who consume more than six standard drinks per week.

standard drink is the equivalent of a bottle of beer (12 oz., 341 ml, 5% alcohol) read more on the old report [2]

I know I will watch my beer intake more closely now.
