4 rules for healthy drinking by Dr. Oz

1. Pour Wisely

Doctors always advise drinking in moderation, if it all. Research shows women should not consume more than one drink per day. More than one drink can lead to cancer or liver damage. A study conducted in 2011 shows that having 3-6 drinks per week increased the risk of breast cancer by 15%. One drink is 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of liquor.

Research is too inconsistent to warrant the risk. Studies show children of eight years old whose mothers had 5-6 drinks a week during pregnancy had lower IQ.

4. Don’t save up for the Weekend

After tiring working days, people often have several drinks over the weekend. Binge drinking – defined for women as four or more drinks in roughly two hours – is on the rise among American women. Consequences of binge drinking can be very serious.
