thanks for your query, The safe limit of alcohol consumption has varied according to various guidelines of various societies, but generally speaking even most liberal of societies do not recommend more than 60 ml of whisky (two standard drink) per day or more than 14 drinks per week. So by that criteria, the amount of alcohol that you are consuming is more and you need to cut down on that
