one small peg is known in Europe as "a shot" one extra large peg (90cc) is not a good idea at all !
The calories might be an issue.
But, if everyone who took 1 peg a day of whiskey who had high blood pressure had a problem, we couldn't fit them all into the emergency rooms.
My dad took a peg of whiskey every night.. and it might have hurt his heart (at age 93).
Moderation= "drinking less than your doctor". Or in this case Dr.'s Dad.
1 peg is by this definition moderate drinking. I cannot recommend larger amounts with any confidence.
