Safe? Drinking Limits

This is an interesting comparison table produced by Nova Vida Recovery

The Data has originally come from the International Centre for Alcohol Policies.

A number of points are worth consideration.

Portugal has the highest Male weekly allowance - must be all those two hour lunches.

The Netherlands has the second highest male allowances and allows women to drink as much as men making the female allowances the highest of all countries by a long way.

Women in Ireland have only just over half the allowance of men.

France and Sweden have the lowest rates for men although you would probably consider the French to have a higher actual intake than Sweden.

Maybe we should look at the actual average intake statistics to see if the recommendations have any correllation to the actual consumptions!!
