Canadians who not so long ago were told a glass of wine a day was good for your metabolism are struggling to adapt to new drinking guidlines released last week.
0 drinks per week means better health and better sleep.
2 standard drinks or less per week will see people likely to avoid alcohol-related consequences for self or others.
3 to 6 standard drinks per week sees a greater risk of developing breast, colon and other cancers.
7 standard drink or more per week puts you at greater risk of heart disease or stroke.
Each additional standard drink per week radically increases the risk of alcohol-related consequences.
