Note:
The data presented above are estimates only. In some cases different advice is given to sub-populations (such as pregnant women).
Drink free days are clearly advised and may be reflected in the estimates.
Endorsed by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Canadian Medical Association, the College of Family Physicians of Canada, and the Canadian Medical Society on Alcohol and Other Drugs. No distinction by sex; "adult man of average build" is used as a reference.
Systembolaget publishes its advice in terms of 40% spirits, and notes approximately equivalent values for beer and wine. The chart lists figures for "not dangerous" and "low risk" categories.
Suggests a maximum of double this value "on any one occasion".
