2 drinks a day is approaching Mad Men levels of alcohol consumption.

The typical glass of wine you'd be served at a dinner party is actually two "standard" drinks. So... no. Not at all. Not even close.

The article says 5oz (approximately 150ml) of wine is one standard drink. Unless you're being served nearly half a wine bottle (300ml of a standard 750ml bottle) in a single glass at a dinner party, you're wrong about that.

And if your dinner parties really are like that, cheers friend. Fun times.

haha I stand by my statement

more like 2 drinks per meal in Mad Men

2 and 6 are the same order of magnitude.

[Clamchop]

They're within an order of magnitude of each other but they're not _in_ the same order of magnitude. 2 would be in the 0th order and 6 would be in the 1st.

But even if it weren't so, I'm not sure what your point is. Do you have a reason for thinking that orders of magnitude is a good way to compare alcohol consumption?
