We're all homebrewers, so we all obviously enjoy a tipple. Some more than others, of course
Recently in a non-alcohol related visit to the doctor, I raised the topic of safe drinking levels and he suggested that for someone of my size (6 foot, about 95 kilos) a safe level of sustainable drinking is about 4 middies per day, max, with at least two completely alcohol-free days (AFD's) per week. I personally exceed the 4 middy/2 pint limit maybe once or twice a week, but since I began kegging, rarely observed the AFD's. I now have some health issues that the beer might be aggravating, and rather than give up the sacred drop entirely, I'm working towards observing the "recommended safe" levels of drinking. I wonder how many AHB members do observe this health advice?
So, please answer the poll and post comments if you wish. Do you observe 2 AFD's a week?
