Excessive alcohol drinking can damage the body in many ways. It’s important to drink in moderation. For instance, 1 glass per day for women, and 2 glasses a day for men (1 drink = 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, 1.5 ounces of liquor).
Always consult with your doctor if you have arthritis and you wish to drink, because drinking alcohol may interfere with certain medications.
