Anstie's limit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anstie's limit is an amount of alcohol that Francis E. Anstie (1833-1874) proposed could be consumed daily with no ill effects. It is 1.5 ounces of pure ethanol, equivalent to two and one-half standard U.S. drinks of beer, wine or distilled spirits or liquor (gin, vodka, rum, tequila, whiskey, Bourbon, rye, Scotch, etc.) See standard drinks in other countries.
