A recent article on TheAustralian.com.au discussed the varying national alcohol guidelines which can prove confusing when travelling to other countries.
In countries like Chile and the United States have a higher allowance for men – 5 glasses of wine a night before it’s too much.
A study by American researchers shows huge variations in national alcohol guidance with some countries having no clear definition of “a drink”. Some allow five times as much alcohol as others a day.
In Australia no more than 2 standard drinks a day are recommended.
