Any one know statistics. How many drinks a day for how many years to get cerocis of the liver or other wonderfull things. Is 2-3 drinks a day going to kill me? And if so at what age?

Sebastian I dunno any statistics and if alcohol is used with other drugs it might be different, but 2-3 units of alcohol a day is within the guidelines.
I've drunk double that for the best part of 30 years now and I'm still here.Declan

If you make it red wine and cut back to 1 or 2 glasses a day then it will actually be GOOD for you

> :-)It will be good for your heart, yes, but any quantity of alcohol, even 1 or 2 drinks, seems to raise the risks of cancers. A lot of the studies that say that wine is good for you is prolly funded from the wine industry, and the only association is with improved heart function.

By the end of the day, Sebastian, I'm past caring about liver, cancer, and whatever. My only concern is to find that amount of whisky which is enough and not too much, I think it's 5 oz, not 4 and not 6. For me of course.

Yep. Do a search on google or maybe doctorsguide.com or medscape.com if you can. You'll find a good deal of info.
