Re: How much is too much?
Don't know, used to sink it by the barrel load. Then I found I couldn't even sniff red without being sick for days, then I had my girls and since then half a glass of wine half kills me. It's all good though, I can still drink lager or vodka, just not much. Damn near teetotal these days 
Dangerous? how? Does he know where I live

Re: How much is too much?
But how much is too much? Whether we're talking about drinking before driving or operating dangerous machinery, or longer-term effects on health and longevity that attend alcohol consumption, it's clear to all but the most extreme observers that moderate consumption is harmless or even beneficial; while few would dispute that excessive consumption is a bad idea.
Countless studies reveal a "J-shaped curve" when cardiovascular and general health are plotted against alcohol consumption. Moderate daily consumers of alcohol tend to enjoy better health and longevity than teetotalers, although steady over-indulgence can yield catastrophic health results. Even in such controversial realms as drinking before driving or by pregnant women, there's no evidence of any hazard from moderate consumption other than, perhaps, individual inability to draw the line that separates moderation from excess.
It should also be noted that many health authorities recommend a smaller daily limit for women, based upon average size and also on assumed differences in the ways that men and women metabolize alcohol. In similar fashion, standard advice on driving after drinking recommends adjusting consumption based upon individual weight and size. In this non-scientific survey, we simply suggest that you choose the one answer that works best for you, selecting the number of glasses per day that - for you - represents "one too many."

Too much is when you find yourself laying horizontal on the floor and you still feel like you are going to fall off.
