Good to know you are here with us
....Welcome to our recovery community

How much is too much?

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control

Moderate drinking is no more than
2 drinks a day for men..1 for women

They consider a drink to be
12 oz. of beer..5 oz. of wine...1 1/2 oz of liquor.

Your body and mind processes all 3 toxins equally
so drinking only wine or only liquor or only beer
or mixing them is of no importance.
They all do the same damage.
Sorry to know about your job situation ...
Because of the economic situation here
I've noticed a lot of newcomers to AA.

Meetings are a good place to learn how to
live sober I also found a job via AA members
when I re located to a different state...

Blessings to you and your family
