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".
