Before You Ring In The New Year

I love craft beer and have become particularly fond of really good bourbon with a splash of water. With the holiday season in full swing NPR had a timely article this week on drinking that asks: When does moderate drinking become a problem? They answer that question this way:
Health experts consider two drinks per day as a safe amount of consumption for men, and one drink per day as safe for women.
Psychologist Will Corbin defines risky drinking as binge drinking, more than five drinks for a man and more than four drinks for a woman over a two-hour period.
They also link to a great resource at the National Institutes For Health on alcohol and health.
