A very common question about how to get started living a healthy life (and avoid the negative health consequences from drinking) is, “What is the recommended low-risk threshold for drinking?”
Here are some answers to this and other questions you may have when it comes to creating the lifestyle that will make it easier and less likely to become dependent on alcohol addiction. The recommended low-risk level is about one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. That is just an average. The closer to the line that you are, the more likely you are to get into trouble with alcohol or with alcoholism.
Living the recommended lifestyle will keep you away from the problems that can come with alcoholism. If you start drinking less, you are keeping yourself away from the problems that drinking creates. You are also keeping yourself away from many diseases that come from alcohol consumption, such as cancer. If you keep yourself well below the recommended amount of alcohol consumption, you are much less likely to develop these diseases in the future.
The second most common question about how to get started living a healthier life is, “What is the recommended minimum BAC level?”
Here is the answer: it depends. In general, the higher the level, the more likely it is to create problems later on. Any drink of greater than about one drink per day for men is considered to be binge drinking. Anything over a drink per day for women is considered to be high risk, even if the person drinks infrequently.
There are a number of different calculators you can use to figure out your BAC, but a good one will look at your height, weight, gender, physical activity level, and any other information you provide. They will then add up your current BAC to determine what your “medically recommended” BAC level is. This is the lowest amount of alcohol you are allowed to have. Anything more than this will cause severe problems. For example, someone who drinks four pints of beer (which is equivalent to 20 drinks) each week would be well advised to stay away from driving for several more years.
It may sound easy, but keeping track of your BAC is not easy. It is important that you do not lie about how much you have had to drink to avoid detection. You should also keep a record of how you feel during the day. If you feel lightheaded or nauseous after a few hours of drinking, this is a good time to find out your true BAC level. You can then decide if it is time for you to make some changes in your lifestyle.
One of the most common mistakes made by people trying to set their recommended low-risk threshold is not making adjustments as they begin to experience negative side effects from alcohol. The best way to overcome this problem is to gradually reduce your consumption until you find that your BAC is consistently below the legal limit. If this is not possible, you will need to consult a professional legal adviser. The purpose of this consultation is to help you set up a plan that allows you to continue to meet your obligations while maintaining a healthy social life. This can be accomplished by following the steps laid out in the NHTSA guide.
