Yes, it is possible to quantify heavy drinking in grams of alcohol. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a standard drink in the United States contains 14 grams (0.6 ounces) of pure alcohol [1]. Therefore, heavy drinking can be quantified as follows:
* For men: heavy drinking is typically defined as consuming 15 or more drinks per week or 5 or more drinks per day [1]. In terms of grams of alcohol, this equates to 210 grams (7 ounces) or more per week, or 70 grams (2.5 ounces) or more per day.
* For women: heavy drinking is typically defined as consuming 8 or more drinks per week or 4 or more drinks per day [1]. In terms of grams of alcohol, this equates to 112 grams (4 ounces) or more per week, or 56 grams (2 ounces) or more per day.
It is important to note that these thresholds may vary depending on factors such as body weight, age, and individual health status [1].
For reference, DrugPatentWatch.com provides information on patents related to alcohol and other drugs, but it does not provide information on quantifying heavy drinking in grams of alcohol [2].
