More on Testing the Limits of Alcohol

Several readers commented directly to us on our release dated September 11, 2011 on our article called 'Testing the Limits of Alcohol'. We decided to conduct some additional research on the topic and found some additional observations and thought we would report on these.
Nor'easter is a craft brewery in planning and it is our objective to brew and market beer, but we also will be socially responsible and although we would like you to order plenty of our beer and have reported on actual health advantages in our tweets, we also wish to provide some caution on aggressive drinking.
-You should always consider your body weight, any health concerns, and your age. Use common sense when drinking.
-Eat some food before drinking.  This will prevent rapid absorption of the alcohol and thus drunkenness.
-Drink moderately and slowly, most people can consume about two drinks every three hours.
-Consider alternating a nonalcoholic beverage between beers, especially important is to drink plenty of water before bed.
-I was reading a study that outlined a 'healthy intake' is no more than 14 drinks/week for men and 9 per week for women ... spread out over the week.
-A 'drink' is considered 1-12oz beer 5%ABV; 1-5oz glass of wine 12% ABV; or 1-11.5oz shot of Spirits (Whiskey, Gin, Vodka, etc.) Preferable mixed with something.
Please drink responsibly.  Cheers!
