Binge Drinking?

What is a Standard Drink?

One standard drink is equivalent to 1 can of beer or 120 mls of wine or 30 mls of spirits.

Conversion Table :
1) BEER or COOLER (~5% alcohol) : 12 oz. = 1 std drink
2) MALT LIQUOR (~7% alcohol) : 12 oz. = 1.5 std drink
3) TABLE WINE (~12% alcohol) : 750ml bottle / 25 oz. = 5 std drink
4) 80-proof SPIRITS (hard liquor) (~40% alcohol) : a mixed drink = 1 std drink or more* ; a pint (16 oz.) = 11 std drink
*Note: Depending on factors such as the type of spirits and the recipe, one mixed drink can contain from one to three or more standard drinks.

To enjoy alcohol without risking health, men should drink no more than four standard drinks each day, women should have no more than two standard drinks a day, and everyone should have at least two alcohol free days a week. Drinking regularly above these levels may contribute to high blood pressure (a risk factor for heart disease and stroke) and increase the risk of cancer, liver disease and brain damage. Because women's bodies are more sensitive to the harmful affects of alcohol, they need to drink less than men.

In Singapore, the legal limit of alcohol in the blood is 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. In general, for a 60-70 kg person, about 1 ½ large bottle of beer (which is about 1000ml) consumed over half an hour can give rise to a blood alcohol concentration of 80mg of ethanol per 100ml of blood.

Drink responsibly

• Decide your drink limit before you start drinking.
• Limit yourself to not more than two standard drinks per day.
• Eat while you drink. Don't drink on an empty stomach.
• Sip one drink slowly over a long period of time. Don't gulp.
• Avoid drinking spirits neat. Mix them with soda water, ginger ale or fruit juices.
• Alternate your drinks with non-alcoholic ones.
• Don't drink if you are taking drugs, like antihistamines which are prescribed for flu.
• Never drive after drinking.
• If you plan to drink, don't drive
- Call a cab
- Catch a ride with a friend who hasn't been drinking
- Call home and have a sober family member come and get you
- Stay overnight
- Better still, ensure that the designated driver for your group agrees ahead of time, not to drink on that occasion, so that he can drive your group home safely when the party ends.

cheers,

妙语

loveflower: was drinking barley a few days back when i realised that there was a chinese saying printed on the wrapper... read it (but cannot rem the exact words liao) and was like 'wow! very true... didnt think of it this way...' aniwae, so i decide that i should post some of the 妙语 that i found interesting/profound =P

1. 生命中，不断地有人离开或进入。于是，看见的，看不见了；记住的，遗忘了。生命中，不断地有得到和失落。于是，看不见的，看见了；遗忘的，记住了。然而，看不见的，是不是就等于不存在？记住的，是不是永远不会消失？

2. 有些话是真的，却听上去很假；有些话是假的，却令人 信 以为 真。

3. 星星在哪里都是很亮的，就看你有没有抬头去看他们。

4. 鱼对水说你看不到我的眼泪，因为我在水里．水说我能感觉到你的眼泪 ，因为你在我心里。

5. 爱情是泼墨写意，讲究大意境和大感觉；婚姻是工笔，任何一点细节也省略不掉。

6. 男人在结婚前觉得适合自己的女人很少，结婚后觉得适合自己的女人很多。

7. 每个成功男人的背后，都有一个女人。每个不成功男人的背后，都有两个。

8. 暗恋是一出成功的啞剧, 如果说出来了就变成了悲剧。(Newly added, courtesy of my sis!!)
