How many beers per week would you consider a drinking problem?

Question

Answer

I believe it's all on perspective. If I had 10 beers a week I'd say that would be a drinking problem for me because I feel like garbage if I have 2 or 3 a week.
My husband has about 3 a day (roughly a case a week) but never gets out of hand. Drinks those three in an evening but doesn't have to have it. He just enjoys the shit out of beer. 
My brother on the other hand has a drinking problem. In and out of jail because one drink leads to drinking all the drinks till he can't even say his own name. And this is every time he drinks. 
SOME of you may say DH has a drinking problem, but for us, it isn't a problem. Not for his career, not in our relationship, and (So far)not for his health.

Answer

It's not the number of beers, it's how a person acts with a certain amount of alcohol in their system, and how they function.

Answer

Unhealthy alcohol use includes any alcohol use that puts your health or safety at risk or causes other alcohol-related problems. It also includes binge drinking — a pattern of drinking where a male consumes three or more drinks within two hours or a female downs at least two drinks within two hours. Binge drinking causes significant health and safety risks.

Answer

It depends. 2 a day for a guy is fine. For a woman, 10 a week is a bit on the high side but not awful. But if you drink 2 days and have 5 beers a day, that's a problem.

Answer

Generally speaking more than 14 drinks a week is considered potentially problematic.

Answer

Depends on daily frequency not weekly frequency and ability to handle alcohol
