CNN with some insight on drinking.

Reading that it is a wonder I am alive thanks to my college days.

 

What is considered 15 drinks and is there a variance for higher abv?

 

Sorry, "CNN" and "insight" don't belong in the same sentence.

In the United States, one "standard" drink contains roughly 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is found in:

• 12 ounces of regular beer, which is usually about 5% alcohol
• 5 ounces of wine, which is typically about 12% alcohol
• 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, which is about 40% alcohol

 

I've never heard about bacterial DNA in the bloodstreams and elevated endotoxin presence blood due to heavy drinking. Seems pretty insightful to me.

 

I if its another article tell you the benefits of limiting alcohol I'm not reading it!
