How much alcohol is safe for the body

There has been changes in the recommendation of alcohol consumption and the new recommendation has made the permissible limit lowered to three units for a day for women and four units a day for men from the previously stated fourteen units and 21 units for men and women respectively a week. Now, it is also not a good idea that you save up the units from each of your days for the weekends where you compensate with binging.
This can be more harmful for your health than drinking regularly. Therefore, if you drink only on the weekends, you should still try to keep it under three units. It should also be kept in mind that a unit of wine that is given on a small glass of 125 ml has an alcohol percentage of nine. Chances are that you will be having a glass of 175 ml capacity which would have 12 percent alcohol and it is more than three units.
