Antsie’s limit饮酒量限度

【使用地区】：英国

【释义】：

A British expression with some American use．The nineteenth—century physician Edward Antsie advised his patients that more than one and a half ounces of pure alcohol a day，consumed day in and day out，will eventually cause physical damage to the body．Stay under this limit，Antsie said，and drinking won’t harm you．One and a half ounces of pure alcohol translates roughly into three one—ounce drinks of 100—proof whiskey，or four beers，or half a bottle of wine．Some experts agree with Antsie，but most refuse to generalize．

英国英语，有的美国人也用。19世纪，一位名叫Edward Antsie的医生劝他的病人说，如果每天喝超过一盎司半的白酒，有害身体健康。他说，如果饮酒不超过这个限量，对健康就没有什么妨碍。一盎司半白酒大致相当于一盎司一杯的纯威士忌三杯的量，也相当于三瓶啤酒或半瓶葡萄酒。有些专家同意他的说法，但大部分人不愿把此作为一般饮酒量的标准。
