21. Should I limit alcoholic
beverages?
If
you drink alcohol, limit the amount to 1 drink daily for women and
2 drinks daily for men. Alcoholic beverages give you calories but
few nutrients. A drink is 12 fluid ounces of regular beer, 5 fluid
ounces of wine, or 1½ fluid ounces of 80-proof distilled
spirits. (Answer continues on next page.)
