Are Americans Drinking Too Much? Yes, Says the UK
New guidelines recommend men and women drink the same amount per week.
Our neighbors across the pond released new alcohol intake guidelines that suggest limits lower than what is followed in the U.S.
The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend men and women not drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week. That’s about six glasses of wine and a little less than five pints of beer.
In the U.S., the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends women not have more than one drink per day and men not more than two, or just over four pints per week and just less than nine pints, respectively.
