More than one drink in a day is not drinking in moderation?
I can see if one of the drinks is with breakfast, but two glasses of sake with dinner? That's so not a lot. And I guess only .75oz of overproof liquor. Which reminds me--I need lemons so I can have rum toddies now. Booyah.
Funny-- the British guidelines say 2 -3 drinks per day!
Still, in keeping with the original questions, I do not think it is strange that PC or anyon don't drink, and I do think it wa very rude to have asked about it, as it could be quite personal!

Ha! I wondered if the British guidelines would be different.
And isn't 5 drinks "binge drinking" here? The US is a mess.
Rather than a formal taxonomy, this diagram by Ibrahim Evsan divides geek culture into activities, obsessions, social communities, terms, idols, and types. Its primary flaw is that it does not take cross-breeding into account.
I'd say its primary flaw is that it's very much boy-geek centric.
I have an ignorant history question- back in the day (like the middle ages) I have been lead to believe that people mostly consumed wine and mead and such because the water supply was icky. Is this not true, or were the walking around semi-tipsy all day, or as the alcohol pretty watered down? I have always been curious.
Somewhere in my googling, though I'm afraid I can't find it again, I came across a chart of international definitions of "moderate drinking" and it will probably some as no surprise to anyone that the US had the lowest limit.

My cursory examination didn't turn up a direct link between vampires and Joss Whedon. Or even Buffy and Joss Whedon. Unless there's some behind the bubble shenanigans going on there. And Buffy's a geek obsession but Dr. Who is a geek idol? Man-friendly indeed.
It's like when people were so suspicious when the mammogram recommendations changed, when actually the ages just shifted to be in line with Europe (not that that is why it was done, or even that it should have been done, but it's not some crazy conspiracy).
I echo Sophia's curiousity. I recall reading that in colonial days of America, most everyone including children drank beer or hard cider all the time. I don't know why; water from streams and rivers might sometimes be bad to drink, but well water was usually safe.
