...and what I mean by that is why are you trying to determine this? It's about him, not you, and you didn't cause his drinking, you can't control his drinking, and you can't cure his alcoholism.
It really doesn't matter. It's just spinning your wheels for no reason. Why do I know this? Because I used to do the same kinds of things, and think the same kind of ways.
What matters is that his drinking is a problem for you. What matters is you. Please look into attending Al-Anon meetings in your area, without him, and try at least six meetings (some different if possible), before deciding if it will work for you. Here, let me help:

My AH's drink of choice is a cider, which is 1.4 standard drinks. I've tried before to try and find out what cider can do to the body, long term, but haven't had much luck.
