Acceptable Amount of Alcohol

The amount of alcohol that a person can safely consume, without any possibility if getting drunk, depends on his age, gender and overall medical history. So, it is always better to consult a doctor.
One drink comprises of a peg of 30/60 ml in case of hard liquor like whisky, vodka, rum, etc and one glass in case of drinks like wine, champagne, beer, etc.
Usually, two drinks for men and one drink for women, a day, is considered as the ideal amount of alcohol, which has the remotest possibility of causing any harm.
A man should not have more than four drinks in a day, while women should strictly adhere to the maximum limit of three drinks in a day. You go beyond this and you are inviting trouble for yourself.
Those who have crossed the threshold of forty years should limit themselves to not more than three drinks in a day, at any cost. Going beyond this means putting stress on the heart.
Do not have a cocktail of different types of liquor. If you having whisky at a party, stick to whisky. Alternating between two or three different drinks, say whisky and beer or beer and vodka, is a big no-no.
