The answer to this question is personal. It’s up to you to decide if you drink too much.

Yes, we can look at Canada’s guidelines on alcohol drink consumption, but that’s giving the research that generalizes to everyone. It’ll tell you where the threshold is when alcohol consumption becomes dangerous and harmful to your health.

I would look at answering this question a bit differently.

Look at different areas of your life and see if there’s been consequences to alcohol use. I want you to reflect on what you see day-to-day in your life that would make you ask “do I drink too much?”.

Get honest with your answers even if you're not wanting to share at this time.
