Eat, Drink, Exercise: The recommendations from niaaa (national institute of alcohol abuse and alcoholism) under the national institute of health is for no more than two standard drinks per day (14 drinks per week) for men. Various standards exist for what a healthy weight would be in men based on age and frame size. Please look for the metropolitan life insurance co and the us army recommendations for guidance.
