How Much Amount Of Alcohol Can Cause Health Issues?
How much of an alcohol, whisky, for example, would be ensured to cause health concerns? I hope the answers would be in terms of metric system assuming average person s condition. More specifically, what I would like to know is the quantity of the stated alcohol in terms of ml s is okay to drink daily for an average young adult (20 to 30 something). If there are any suggestions, that would be helpful also.

Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I must tell you that the old concept and popular belief that some amount of alcohol can be healthy is now rejected. The current literature has questioned this belief. The current view is that no amount of alcohol is good for health. I would suggest you to not turn to alcohol drinking.
Thanks.
