Tips and FAQ

  • What is pure alcohol?
    The weight of only ethyl alcohol (ethanol) contained in beverages. Calculated as alcohol percentage × amount × 0.8 (specific gravity of ethanol).
  • What are the moderate drinking standards?
    WHO standards recommend up to 20g per day for adult males and up to 10g for adult females. This is a guideline to avoid adverse health effects.
  • How long does it take for alcohol to leave the body?
    Generally, about 1 hour per 1g of pure alcohol is needed for processing. There are large individual differences based on weight and liver function.
  • Why are alcohol-free days necessary?
    They provide liver rest, prevent alcohol dependence, and improve sleep quality. 2+ days per week are recommended.
  • Which is healthier, beer or sake?
    Total intake is more important than type. However, sake has higher alcohol content, so the same volume results in higher intake.
