That’s basically 1 pint a day, or 16 oz as the ceiling for “light”. That seems reasonable? Not the amount necessarily just the classification.


If you drink the average every day, you will spend a large part of your days inebriated. And if you don't drink the average every day, you will be deeply drunk every few days.

It's completely unreasonable to call that level of consumption "light".


1 beer is not going to make anybody inebriated for a large part of their day. 3-4 beers will put someone into a good buzz but most will not be “deeply drunk” from that.

And again, this is the UPPER BOUND. not the average as you say


If you drink the average every day, you will spend a large part of your days inebriated.

You think that a pint of beer will leave you inebriated most of the day?


Two pints doesn't even put you over the drink driving limit in the UK.

what on earth do you mean by inebriated?

i'd really like to know where all of these people that can't seem to handle a glass of beer, quite probably with something to eat, without freaking out are coming from?


1 pint of beer will get you drunk - more like your tolerance is abnormally low and your projecting it on everyone else.


maybe "not get you drunk"?


Maybe if you weigh 70 pounds or something.
