The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 state that if alcohol is consumed, it should be done in moderation, which is classified as two drinks per day for a man and one drink per day for a woman, for those of legal age. They also recommend that if a person has not started drinking alcohol, they should not do so. NIAAA publishes that if a man drinks four or fewer drinks per day, and 14 or fewer drinks per week (three per day and seven per week for a woman), this is considered low-risk drinking. Only about two out of every 100 people who consume alcohol within these limits suffer from alcohol addiction.
