What does moderate drinking mean? There is no one definition of moderate drinking, but generally the term is used to describe a lower-risk pattern of drinking. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, drinking in moderation is defined as having no more than 1 drink per day for women and no more than 2 drinks per day for men. This definition is referring to the amount consumed on any single day and is not intended as an average over several days.
In many European countries, beer tends to be the alcoholic drink of choice by teenagers, followed by distilled spirits over wine.
Men are more likely than women to drink excessively. Excessive drinking is associated with significant increases in short-term risks to health and safety, and the risk increases as the amount of drinking increases.
Alcohol abuse can cause muscle atrophy, which can cause sharp muscle pain and weakness.
