| They define moderate drinking, (may even be healthful) this way. Yet if you measure out 1.5 ounces, into a cocktail glass, it is far, far, less than a typical drink. Something is not right in those studies. But in the studies, the medical team doesn't measure the drinks. They ask the people how many drinks they usually have. And the point is, the drinks are usually more than 1.5 ounces. But the researchers use the 1.5. So the medical studies are not correct at all. |

| 1.5 ounces is a shot of hard liquor, and is a standard measure. I believe it equates to 12 oz. of regular beer or 4.5 oz of wine. |
