The government of Canada in it's infinite wisdom dropped some new alcohol recommendations earlier this year. They now say that two drinks per week or less is considered low risk, 3-6 is moderate risk, and 7 or more is high risk.

Since the government isn't to be trusted I'll ask you QnAers, how much alcohol is too much?

With any drug, the simple rule is you never get something for nothing. You've got to know yourself and the effects of using it on your life and be honest with yourself when there are problems.

Unfortunately alcohol is not viewed as a drug by a lot of people so it doesn't receive the respect such a powerful substance requires. For some people that might be none at all, for others a few pints a day won't ever hurt them. Of course alcohol as a substance is objectively toxic and can easily become addictive so no matter what you'll start incurring physical harm as the dose and frequency increases.

Again, you never get something for nothing.

I've known people all kinds of alcoholics from the ones that die at 27 from cirrhosis to ones that died at 90 from simple old age. You would be surprised how much trash the liver can handle as long as you get plenty of water and good nutrition daily. The 27 replaced both of those with alcohol and it was wild how fast she went downhill.

2 beers/cocktails or one 3 to 4 oz glass of straight liquor in a hour or two hour period once a day. This is my motto if a drink, unless I'm getting blasted with friends at mine or their house. Then its as long as you don't throw up or black-out.

It all depends on how much you're ready to pay with your health.

If you're okay with harming your body, then self-harming amounts are still good and there is no such thing as too much.
If you don't think the pleasure that alcohol gives you is worth the health cost, then any amount is arguably too much.

Since you're Canadian, here is a racist tip if you want to kill people legally. Buy a case of strong spirit, drive to a native area, and just give them the bottles.
