Beer

Beer is a popular drink that is offered in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic kinds.

Beer is often used to prevent cardiovascular disease and stroke. It is likewise utilized to minimize the opportunity of death from cardiovascular disease, for avoiding decline of thinking abilities later on in life, for Alzheimer disease, and for numerous other conditions, however there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses. [2]

History

Beer is among the world’s earliest ready alcoholic drinks. The earliest historical proof of fermentation includes 13,000-year-old residues of a beer with the consistency of gruel, used by the semi-nomadic Natufians for routine feasting, at the Raqefet Collapse the Carmel Mountains near Haifa in Israel. There is proof that beer was produced at Göbekli Tepe during the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (around 8500 BC to 5500 BC). The earliest clear chemical evidence of beer produced from barley dates to about 3500– 3100 BC, from the site of Godin Tepe in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran. It is possible, but not shown, that it dates back even further– to about 10,000 BC, when cereal was first farmed. Beer is recorded in the written history of ancient Iraq and ancient Egypt, and archaeologists speculate that beer was instrumental in the development of civilizations. Approximately 5000 years earlier, workers in the city of Uruk (modern day Iraq) were paid by their employers with volumes of beer. Throughout the building of the Great Pyramids in Giza, Egypt, each employee got a daily ration of four to five liters of beer, which functioned as both nutrition and refreshment that was essential to the pyramids’ building and construction.

A few of the earliest Sumerian works consist of referrals to beer; examples include a prayer to the goddess Ninkasi, known as “The Hymn to Ninkasi”, which served as both a prayer and a method of remembering the recipe for beer in a culture with few literate individuals, and the ancient advice (” Fill your stomach. Day and night make merry”) to Gilgamesh, taped in the Impressive of Gilgamesh, by the ale-wife Siduri might, a minimum of in part, have actually described the intake of beer. The Ebla tablets, found in 1974 in Ebla, Syria, show that beer was produced in the city in 2500 BC. A fermented beverage utilizing rice and fruit was made in China around 7000 BC. Unlike sake, mold was not used to saccharify the rice (amylolytic fermentation); the rice was most likely prepared for fermentation by chewing or malting. During the Vedic period in Ancient India, there are records of usage of the beer-like sura. Xenophon kept in mind that throughout his journeys, beer was being produced in Armenia.

Practically any compound containing sugar can naturally go through alcoholic fermentation, and can hence be utilized in the brewing of beer. It is likely that many cultures, on observing that a sweet liquid could be gotten from a source of starch, individually developed beer. Bread and beer increased success to a level that enabled time for advancement of other innovations and added to the structure of civilizations.

Beer was spread through Europe by Germanic and Celtic tribes as far back as 3000 BC, and it was generally brewed on a domestic scale. The product that the early Europeans consumed might not be recognised as beer by most people today. Together with the fundamental starch source, the early European beers might have included fruits, honey, numerous kinds of plants, spices and other substances such as narcotic herbs. What they did not contain was hops, as that was a later addition, first pointed out in Europe around 822 by a Carolingian Abbot and again in 1067 by abbess Hildegard of Bingen.

In 1516, William IV, Duke of Bavaria, adopted the Reinheitsgebot (pureness law), maybe the earliest food-quality policy still in use in the 21st century, according to which the only enabled ingredients of beer are water, hops and barley-malt. Beer produced before the Industrial Transformation continued to be made and sold on a domestic scale, although by the 7th century AD, beer was also being produced and offered by European abbeys. During the Industrial Revolution, the production of beer moved from artisanal manufacture to commercial manufacture, and domestic manufacture ceased to be significant by the end of the 19th century. The advancement of hydrometers and thermometers altered brewing by enabling the brewer more control of the process and greater knowledge of the results.

In 1912, brown bottles started to be utilized by Joseph Schlitz Developing Business of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the United States. This development has actually because been accepted around the world and prevents damaging rays from ruining the quality and stability of beer.

As of 2007, the brewing industry is a global company, consisting of numerous dominant multinational companies and numerous countless smaller producers varying from brewpubs to regional breweries. As of 2006, more than 133 billion liters (35 billion United States gallons), the equivalent of a cube 510 meters on a side, of beer are offered each year, producing total international incomes of US$ 294.5 billion. In 2010, China’s beer consumption hit 450 million hectoliters (45 billion liters), or nearly two times that of the United States, however only 5 per cent sold were premium draught beers, compared with 50 per cent in France and Germany.

A current and widely promoted research study suggests that sudden decreases in barley production due to extreme drought and heat might in the future cause significant volatility in the availability and price of beer. [3]

Beer’s Ingredients

Components play a big and really essential role in producing the broad spectrum of aromas, flavor and total impression in beer. The structure of all beers consists of four natural active ingredients: malt barley, hops, yeast and water.

Today, beers are designed and developed using a myriad of ingredients that provide us more varieties of beer than ever before.

It requires both imaginative artistry and a commitment to science in order to craft the ideal beer. Let’s take a more detailed take a look at the natural ingredients a brew master has to work with.

Hops

The flower of the perennial plant, Humulus Lupulus, is accountable for developing aromas, some flavor and bitterness in beer. Hops are important in producing a balanced beer– bitterness is required to lower the impact of the sweetness of the malt. These extremely robust plants mature to 6 meters in one year and frequently grow 30cm in one day. The majority of the hops that are used in brewing are bred and grown in the United States or Germany however lots of other countries consisting of Canada contribute to the general international hop agriculture.

The bitterness and aromatic attributes in hops originated from oils and resins (alpha acids) in the female flower of the hop plant. Hops with low alpha acid portions are usually used to create fine fragrances and are included extremely late in the brewing stage. Hops with greater alpha acids are considered as bittering hops and are included extremely early in the kettle throughout boiling.

Modern brewers frequently refer to IBU’s as a measurement of bitterness in beer. The International Bittering System (IBU) determines the remaining alpha acids after boiling. The scale usually ranges from 0-100. Lighter beers will typically determine in between 6-17 IBU’s, while North American IPA’s might frequently accomplish IBU’s greater than 60. While this is a clinical measurement, it does not determine viewed bitterness. For instance, a beer with a high level of malt may have an IBU of 80 but it might just be viewed as 40 due to the balance in between malt and hops.

Hop flavours and fragrances are largely identified by terroir (the effect of soil, water, weather condition and sun). Makers pick the kind of hop they want based on the beer style and whether the fragrances and taste will attract the interest of the beer drinker.

Barley

The backbone of beer is derived from malted grains. Malting is a process where the valuable parts of a cereal grain are awakened and used to produce flavor, colour and mouth feel in beer. The malting procedure starts with soaking the grains in water for numerous days. This process (soaking) is designed to replace nature by supplying water and oxygen essential for the grain to grow. After a number of days, the grain is allowed to grow naturally at controlled temperature and humidity conditions (germination). The last in malting is warming the grain to minimize wetness, produce colour and flavor and to stabilize the malt.

Lots of makers see barley as the soul of beer. Barley has special functions that make it a more suitable component over other grains. It is a natural and simple source of soluble starches that are essential for conversion into sugars for fermentation. The hard, outer shell is perfect for producing a terrific filter bed throughout lautering (the step in developing created to develop clearness) and the moderate levels of proteins allow for increased foam stability and greater mouth feel. In addition, malting barley in Canada is approximately 20% of all the barley produced here and is valued as a speciality crop.

Other grains that can be used include wheat, rye, oats and sorghum. Each of these has advantages however barley continues to be the majority of all grains used in brewing. Even in wheat beer, the percentage of barley is generally over 50%. This is because of the reality that other grains are malted without husks and are challenging to filter on their own.

Malt supplies a spectrum of colour to beer that varies from pale straw to black. Pale malt produces the lighter colour and flavors seen in simple drinking and thirst quenching beers while dark malts are responsible for the richer, more robust colours in porters and stouts. A range of caramel coloured malts are utilizing to impact colour however more so to create complicated flavors and aromas in beer.

Water

The biggest volume active ingredient in beer likewise has a substantial impact on the end product. Brew masters often see water utilized in beer as either ‘soft’ or ‘hard’. Difficult water has greater levels of mineral material (generally calcium and magnesium) while soft water is largely mineral totally free. Each type of water has an impact on the other ingredients and changes the method a beer drinker enjoys their beer.

Soft water enables a beer to carefully arrive in the mouth and likewise extends the finish. Difficult water, on the other hand, can increase the characteristics of hops, show up with a distinct sharpness and leave your mouth quickly.

Burton-upon-Trent in England is renowned as having the hardest developing water in the world and because of its influence on the development of Pale Ales and India Pale Ales has also developed a distinct word for re-mineralization. ‘Burtonization’ is now an accepted term in brewing for the addition of calcium sulphate and magnesium sulphate to brewing water. In Canada, there are lots of areas with difficult water.

Numerous brewers filter their water before brewing. It’s extremely essential to get rid of chlorine, fluoride and any other component which might negatively affect the flavor of beer.

Yeast

This micro-organism is the engine that creates beer. By including it to a sugar-rich option called ‘wort’, brew masters have the ability to metabolize the fermentable sugars into alcohol. It’s crucial for the brewer to likewise provide pure oxygen to the yeast. Yeast requires sugar to absorb and oxygen to breathe prior to it begins to recreate and supply us with alcohol.

Many developing yeasts come from a household called Saccharomyces. These pure yeast stress are the secret to constant beers. Each of the hundreds of households of yeast has distinct attributes that also assist to develop tastes and scents in beers. Delicate bright fruit fragrances such as apple and pear are frequently the signature of many different designs of beers while many European beers use spice notes together with hints of banana.

Ale yeasts work best at warmer temperature levels and for that reason take longer to ferment. Lager (a German word for aging) yeasts are best utilized at chillier temperatures and fermentations take almost twice as long as ales.

While lots of smaller makers buy their yeast from reliable suppliers, bigger makers in fact propagate their own, exclusive, pure yeast strains.

Other active ingredients

Modern makers explore a world of active ingredients in order to include intricacy to their beers.

Any carbohydrate (besides malt) is thought about to be an adjunct in developing terms. This word is specified as an alternative source.

Active ingredients like dried fruit and spices have actually been utilized for centuries to produce taste and fragrance in beer. Examples of this include orange, coriander and un malted wheat.

Some beers will utilize other cereals such as rice and corn as a supplement to malt. The function behind these lighter flavored cereals is to produce a beer with a lighter body and softer flavor. This way of developing is developed to produce light and easy drinking beer. [4]

Developing; beer production process

Brewing is the process of production of malt drinks. Beers, ale and lagers are the main malt drinks produced by a technique called brewing. Brewing is a complicated fermentation process. It differs from other industrial fermentation because taste, scent, clarity, color, foam production, foam stability and portion of alcohol are the aspects connected with completed item.

Steps associated with beer production are:.

Malting:

Beer is produced from barley grains.

Barley grains are first cleaned up and after that took in water for about 2 days. Then excess water is receded and the barley are incubated for 4-5 days to permit germination.

The germination steps allow the formation of highly active α-amylase, β-amylase and proteases enzymes in addition to various flavor and color parts.

Malt adjuncts:

Barley contains substantial quantity of protein. So, if only barley utilized for beer production, the last beer will be dark and unsteady. Therefore, protein present in malt ought to be diluted by adding additional starch or sweet materials.

Such sweet or starchy products are called malt accessories and includes dextrose sugar syrup.

Kilning:

The germinated seed are then eliminated by sluggish heating at 80 ° This process is called kilning.

The kilning temperature must not hurt amylase enzyme. Additionally, if kilning temperature level is higher, darker will be the beer produced.

Mailing:

The dried barley grains are then crushed in between rollers to produced coarse powder called grist.

Mashing:

Grist is mixed with warm water and the resulting products is kept at 65 ° C for about 1 hour.

In doing so, starch is hydrolyzed by amylase enzyme to produce single sugar, maltose, dextrose etc similarly, protein is hydrolyzed by proteolytic enzymes into small pieces and amino acids.

The degree of enzymatic hydrolysis is highly depends on pH and temperature. β-amylase has maximum activity at temperature 57-65 ° C whereas α-amylase has maximum activity at temperature 70-75 °

. The liquid obtained by mashing is called wort. The husks and other grains residue along with precipitated proteins are removed filtering.

Boiling of wort:

The filtrate is then boiled with stirring for 2-3 hours and hop flowers are included at various interval throughout boiling.

Factors for boiling of wort:.

• For extraction of hop flavor from hop flower
• Boiling coagulate staying protein and partially hydrolyze protein and aid in removal of protein
• Boiling inactivates enzymes that were active during mashing, otherwise causes caramelization of sugar
• Boiling likewise sanitize and concentrate the wort

Hops:

Hops are dried female flower of hop plant Humulus lupulus. Roughly one quarter pound of hop flower is included per barrel of beer and approximately 2 pound per barrel of ale.

Benefits of hop addition in beer are;

• Provide beer with its pungent and aromatic character
• Supply tannin which assists in coagulation of remaining protein
• Includes α-resin and β-resin which provides bitter taste along with preservative action against gram Positive bacteria
• Includes pectin which is responsible for foam quality of beer

Fermentation:

• Beer production use strain of Saccharomyces carlsbergens and S. varum which are bottom yeast and S. cerevisiae which is a top yeast.
• Yeast cells for shot are usually recuperate from previous fermentation tank by treatment with phosphoric acid, tartaric acid or ammonium persulphate to decrease the pH and removed substantial bacterial contamination.
• Fermentation is typically carried out at 3-4 ° C but it might vary from 3- 14 ° Fermentation normally finishes in 14 days.
• Throughout fermentation yeast converts sugar primarily into ethanol and CO2 plus some quantity of glycerol and acetic acid.
• For fermentation open tank fermenter can be utilized however closed fermenter tank is chosen, so that CO2 freed throughout fermentation can be gathered for later carbonation action.
• CO2 development is maximum by fifth day of fermentation, there is no advancement of CO2 by 7-9 days since yeast cells end up being inactive and flocculate.
• Most beer includes 3.5-5% alcohol.

Completing, Ageing, Maturation and Carbonation:

• The young and green beer is stored in barrel at 0 ° C for numerous weeks to a number of months. During this period, rainfall of protein, yeast, resin and other undesirable compounds happen and beer become clear.
• Ester and other substances are also produced throughout aging which gives taste and fragrance.
• After ageing, the beer is carbonated by carbon dioxide of 0.45-0.52%.
• The beer is then cooled, clarified, filtered and packed in bottles, barrels and cans. [5]

Types of beer

While craft developing has actually taken off in appeal in the last few years, beer eventually includes a couple of basic designs. Find out about typical styles of beer to increase your convenience and familiarity with among the world’s earliest beverages.

Ale

Ale is a basic classification of beer: You’ll find sub-categories like brown ales or pale ales. This is the oldest design of beer, which goes back to antiquity. What differentiates an ale – and also makes this classification of beer accessible for home makers – is a warm-temperature fermentation for a relatively brief amount of time. In the brewing procedure, brewers present top-fermenting yeasts which, as the name recommends, ferment on the top of the brew. The fermentation process turns what would otherwise be a barley and malt tea into a boozy beverage.

Lager

Lagers are a more recent design of beer with 2 crucial distinctions from ales. Lagers ferment for a long period of time at a low temperature level, and they count on bottom-fermenting yeasts, which sink to the bottom of the fermenting tank to do their magic.

Lagers prevail among European nations, consisting of Czechia, Germany, and the Netherlands, in addition to in Canada, where they make up majority of all beer sales.

Porter

A kind of ale, porter beers are understood for their dark black color and roasted malt fragrance and notes. Porters may be fruity or dry in taste, which is figured out by the range of roasted malt utilized in the developing process.

Stout

Like porters, stouts are dark, roasted ales. Stouts taste less sweet than porters and typically feature a bitter coffee taste, which originates from un malted roasted barley that is contributed to the wort. They are identified by a thick, creamy head. Ireland’s Guinness might be among the world’s best-known stouts.

Blonde ale

This simple drinking ale is a summer season preferred, thanks to its light malt sweet taste and trace of hops, which include scent. As the name suggests, blonde ales have a pale color and a clear body. They tend to be crisp and dry, with couple of traces of bitterness, instead of hop-heavy or dank.

Brown ales

Brown ales vary in color from amber to brown, with chocolate, caramel, citrus, or nut notes. Brown ales are a bit of a variety, since the different malts used and the country of origin can significantly affect the flavor and fragrance of this underrated beer design.

Pale ale

An English design of ale, pale ales and known for their copper color and fruity aroma. Do not let the name fool you: these beers are strong enough to match well with hot foods.

Related to the pale is the APA, or American Pale Ale, which is rather of a hybrid in between the traditional English pale ale and the IPA style. American pale ales are hoppier and usually feature American 2 row malt.

India pale ale

Initially, India Pale Ale or IPA was a British pale ale brewed with extra hops. High levels of this bittering representative made the beer stable adequate to survive the long boat trip to India without spoiling. The extra dosage of hops provides IPA beers their bitter taste. Depending upon the design of hops used, IPAs may have fruit-forward citrus flavors or taste of resin and pine.

American brewers have actually taken the IPA style and run with it, presenting unusual tastes and active ingredients to please U.S. beer drinkers’ love for the brew style.

Wheat

An easy-drinking, light style of beer, wheat beers are known for a soft, smooth taste and a hazy body. Wheat beers tend to taste like spices or citrus, with the hefeweizen or unfiltered wheat beer being one of the more typical styles.

Pilsner

A subspecies of lager, pilsner beers are differentiated by their water, which varies from neutral too hard. Pilsners are amongst the hoppiest lagers and generally have a dry, somewhat bitter flavor. Their light golden color, clear body, and crisp surface make Pilsners a popular summertime beer.

Sour ale

An ancient style of beer that’s taken off in popularity recently, sour ales are crafted from wild yeasts, just like sourdough bread. These beers are known for a tart tang that pairs well with tropical fruit and spices. Within sour beers, you’ll discover lambics, which are Belgian sour beers mixed with fruit, goses, a German sour beer made with coriander and sea salt, and Flanders, a Belgian sour beer fermented in wood tanks.

Potential advantages

Light to moderate beer consumption may be linked to some health advantages.

May benefit your heart

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

A number of research studies recommend that light to moderate beer and alcohol intake may be related to a lower threat of heart disease.

A 12-week study in 36 adults with overweight found that moderate beer consumption– one beverage for ladies, two beverages for men each day– improved the antioxidant residential or commercial properties of HDL (great) cholesterol while likewise improving the body’s capability to get rid of cholesterol.

A big review specified that low to moderate beer consumption– as much as one drink per day in ladies, up to two for males– could decrease heart disease danger to a comparable degree as red wine.

However, it is necessary to keep in mind that these possible benefits relate to light to moderate consumption only. On the other hand, heavy alcohol consumption can increase your danger of heart disease and stroke.

May improve blood glucose control

Light to moderate alcohol consumption may improve blood glucose control, a problem for many individuals with diabetes.

Several research studies have actually discovered that light to moderate alcohol consumption appears to lower insulin resistance– a risk factor for diabetes– along with the general threat for establishing type 2 diabetes.

What’s more, a big study in over 70,500 individuals associated moderate alcohol intake– 14 drinks per week for males and 9 drinks each week for women– with a 43% and 58% lower threat of diabetes for men and women, respectively.

However, heavy and binge drinking can counter these advantages and considerably increase the danger of diabetes.

It’s also important to keep in mind that this potential advantage does not apply to beers and other alcohols which contain high amounts of sugar.

Other possible benefits

Light to moderate beer consumption may be associated with these advantages:.

May help bone density. Low to moderate beer intake may be connected to more powerful bones in males and postmenopausal women.

May lower dementia risk. Light to moderate alcohol consumption may decrease the danger of dementia. However, heavy alcohol consumption can rather increase the risk.

Summary

Light to moderate beer consumption may be connected with a lower threat of heart problem, improved blood glucose control, stronger bones, and lowered dementia risk. Nevertheless, heavy and binge drinking has the opposite results. [7]

Side effects of beer consumption

Beer consumption in moderation can be great for health. Nevertheless, when you drink in excess or gulp a glass too many in fast succession, it can also have a negative influence on health. Listed below are a couple of negative impacts of beer:.

Hinders the blood sugar level

Beer drinking can really interfere with your body’s blood sugar levels. The liver transforms glycogen stored in it into glucose and launches it into the bloodstream. Alcohol in beer actually disrupts this procedure. It can develop cravings pangs and will leave you making a pig of on more food. This can lead the way to weight gain. This can be countered by taking an appropriate meal before gulping down beer.

High in calories

Commercial beer brand names include fewer quantities of nutrients, but come loaded with calories. This makes them less than suitable for people who are trying to lose excess weight. It makes your body burn fewer calories than it would do normally. The alcohol in beer is converted into acetate by the liver. The body then burns acetate for energy and the excess fat remains stored in parts like the hips and belly.

Works as diuretic

When you want relief on a scorching day, a glass of cooled beer comes as a soothing relief. Natural Antidiuretic hormonal agents help the body to maintain fluid and beer decrease the release of this hormonal agent. As a result, you might feel an increased desire to urinate when you gulp down a couple of glasses of beer. It can be particularly damaging when you enjoy athletics. You lose fluid both through urine and sweat in such situations.

Gluten insensitivity

A bulk of beer variants found in the market include malted barley. Barley includes gluten, a kind of protein. Some individuals are discovered to be sensitive to gluten. If you are amongst them, go with beers made with gluten-free substances.

Might be bad for cardiovascular health

Some studies have shown that drinking beer can in fact be good for the heart, but that happens when you drink in minimal amounts. Besides, someone who has an existing cardiovascular ailment will not benefit from drinking beer at all. In fact, it will worsen their heart health.

Can raise high blood pressure level

If you take numerous glasses of beer a day, it can cause a spike in high blood pressure level. So, adhere to a mug or 2 of beer to keep your blood pressure levels under control.

Can cause heartburn

Beer contains some stimulants that work with stomach acid, which might lead to the onset of gastro-oesophageal reflux and result in heartburn.

You may develop beer belly

If you are proud of your slim midsection, it is time you quit drinking beer or a minimum of reduce your consumption. Gulping down kegs of beer is just going to give you a belly– remember belly are stubborn and truly challenging to eliminate.

Leads to intoxication and hangover

Like all types of alcohol, excess beer intake does affect your nerves and motor abilities. This can cause accidents. You can likewise expect a bad hangover after a night out binging on beer.

Interacts with certain medications

Sedatives and Erythromycin can engage with beer and can be bad for your health. A number of prescription antibiotics too connect with beer and can cause side effects like headache and vomiting. The same holds good with a couple of discomfort medications.

A mug or 2 of beer on a warm afternoon or at a pal’s birthday bash is certainly harmless. It is when drinking ends up being an obsessive compulsion, that you stand the danger of being affected by the several results of drinking beer daily. So, exercise in small amounts and stay healthy! These were a few of the major adverse effects of drinking beer.

Beer is an alcohol that might have some health advantages. However, one likewise must keep in mind the adverse effects of drinking beer. Excess beer consumption might hinder blood sugar levels, work as a diuretic, trigger cardiovascular disease, lead to heartburn, boost blood pressure levels, and engage with particular medications. In addition, these unfavorable reactions may also depend on your way of life, case history, and age. For this reason, decrease its intake to avoid its negative effects. [8]

Just how much alcohol is safe?

Initially, if you do not drink, do not begin. It’s true that drinking alcohol might have some health advantages. But there are healthier methods to get the exact same advantages, like exercising.

If you do pick to drink, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggest drinking in moderation. You have actually most likely heard this expression before. However what does it really indicate?

For guys, moderate drinking is two “standard” drinks or less each day. A standard drink (also called drink-equivalent) is 14 grams of pure alcohol.

Do not stress– you don’t need to do any tough math equations to find out how much you can drink. One basic drink of alcohol is the same as:.

• 12 ounces of beer consisting of 5% alcohol
• 8 ounces of malt liquor including 7% alcohol
• A little, 5-ounce glass of white wine including 12% alcohol
• A shot of spirit or liquor (1.5 ounces) consisting of 40% alcohol

Particular drinks– whether it’s a mixed drink or pint of beer– will count as more than one standard drink. If your cocktail has 2 shots of liquor, it counts as 2 standard drinks. The same chooses a pint of craft beer with 7% alcohol– it’s closer to two standard drinks.

Even if moderate drinking permits approximately 2 beverages per day does not indicate you should drink every day. And it likewise doesn’t indicate you can “conserve up” numerous days’ worth of drinks and have them all in one day.

In fact, that’s when moderate consuming develop into binge drinking or heavy drinking. For men, heavy drinking is having more than 14 drinks a week.

Recap

If you select to consume alcohol, drink in moderation. Guy needs to run out than two standard beverages a day, and less than 15 drinks a week. Remember that your beverage may count as more than one standard drink. [9]
