A record low number of Americans are drinking, according to a new Gallup poll released this week. Just 54% of Americans said they consume alcohol at all.
Gallup has been tracking Americans’ drinking behavior since 1939, and their views of the health implications of drinking since 2001. For the first time, a majority of Americans – 53% – said that moderate drinking, defined as one or two drinks per day, is bad for your health.
I think the two drinks a day is supposed to be an average. I don’t drink every day anymore, but when I did it was almost always more than two, usually at least double that by typical serving standards. On days I do drink now, it’s still about the same amount, but it’s once or twice a week, so my average is probably around a drink a day or so.
The fuck? Nobody is having 7 drinks on friday and the same on Saturday and claiming they have two drinks a day
I mean, I don’t know what to tell you. I drink 5 or 6 on Friday and Saturday and don’t drink the rest of the week.
Yes, you are doing more damage than someone who only drinks two drinks a day
