Alcohol is high in calorie content and low in nutrition. It contributes to weight gain and if you drink large quantities more frequently, it may lead to health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure and liver damage. Drinking a lot in one session is not good for health. If you consume alcohol, do so in moderation.

Alcohol is not a recommendation. However, for habitual drinkers, it is recommended that if alcoholic beverages are consumed, they should be limited to not more than 2 drinks per day for men and 1 drink per day for women, and ideally should be consumed with meals. In general, a 12-ounce bottle of beer, a 4-ounce glass of wine, and a 30 ml of whisky, vodka or gin, all contain the same amount of alcohol.
