> Do you drink a glass of wine with dinner every night? That puts you in the top 30 percent of American adults in terms of per-capita alcohol consumption. If you drink two glasses, that would put you in the top 20 percent.
Which, in context, is weakly linking "glass of wine equals one drink".
England talks about alcohol units. One unit is, for example, 125 ml of wine with an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 8%. Even though wine is recently getting weaker it's tricky to find wine as weak as 8%. 13% is more typical. If someone poured you 125 ml of wine at a meal you might think they'd made a mistake. Try it yourself now to see how small it is. 175 ml or 200 ml are more normal serving sizes.
200 ml at 13% is 2.6 units. Two of those is 5.2 units.
So, really, people need to learn how much alcohol they're drinking. You get the health benefits from alcohol when you drink one unit per day; risks start to rise after that. Being teetotal appears to be as harmful as drinking maybe 5 to 6 units per day, even when corrected for people who are teetotal because of health history.
