So if I consume, on average, roughly 1 1/2 "fifths" of distilled
spirits (bourbon, scotch, tequila, etc) how many ounces of alcohol am
I consuming on a daily basis?
If I consume between 1 & 2 "fifths" of liquor every week does that
make me an alcoholic or am I OK?
How much can I drink on a daily basis without having to be too
conscerned. I think I consume about 12 gallons of liquor a year. Plus
I drink a bit of wine and beer...
Seriously.
Thanks....
