How much meat and alcohol per day is bad for you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2 questions: Meat - very controversial, and nobody really knows. A guess - no more than 2 servings per week of red meat, other days chicken, fish or vegetarian meals, and low fat cuts are better. Alcohol - 7 drinks per week for women and older people (14 for men), and no more than 3 drinks on one occasion. That also depends on if you have other diseases, like hep c, in which case no alcohol is really safe.
