According to the American Psychological Association, the amount of alcohol that is classified as “moderate intake” is only 0.5 ounces, which is equivalent to 5 ounces of wine, 12 ounces of beer or 1.5 ounces of spirits. Anything beyond this already puts the person at risk of alcoholism or alcohol use disorder (AUD). A survey by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) found that one in 12 American adults is an alcoholic or alcohol abuser; that means they are regularly consuming more than the recommended amount. Unfortunately, NIAAA also found that the individuals most vulnerable to developing this problem are young adults aged 18 to 29.
