alcohol awareness month in april

According to the Rethinking Drink campaign, 7 in 10 adults always drink at low-risk levels or do not drink at all, and 3 in 10 adults drink at levels that put them at risk for alcoholism, liver disease and other problems.

Did you know that 1 drink is equivalent to a 12-ounce bottle of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounce shot of liquor? Keep this into consideration when thinking about how much alcohol you are actually consuming.
