Low-risk drinking reduces the risk of alcohol-related problems.

Weekly low-risk alcohol guidelines

The recommended weekly low-risk alcohol guidelines are less than:

  • 11 standard drinks for women
  • 17 standard drinks for men

Drinks should be spread out over the week.

Have 2 to 3 alcohol-free days per week. Drink no more than 6 standard drinks on any one occasion.

The less you drink the lower the risk of developing alcohol-related health issues.
