醫(yī)學(xué)英語(yǔ)輕松學(xué) 第8期:飲酒適度

For many people, drinking alcohol is a regular part of social occasions, but moderation is important.

對(duì)于許多人來(lái)說(shuō)，喝酒是社交的常規(guī)模式，適度飲酒尤為重要。

Binge drinking is defined as having 4 or more drinks on an occasion for women or 5 or more for men.

對(duì)于女性，四杯或以上被看作為豪飲，男性為五杯或以上。

A recent report highlighted binge drinking among women and girls, 1 in 8 women and 1 in 5 high school girls binge drink.

近期，人們對(duì)女性豪飲進(jìn)行了調(diào)查，女性豪飲數(shù)量為八分之一，高中女學(xué)生為五分之一。

This dangerous behavior puts them at increased risk for injuries, violence, unintendedpregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, heart disease and breast cancer.

由于豪飲，女性受傷，出現(xiàn)暴力行為、意外懷孕、心臟病、乳腺癌以及患性傳播疾病的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)加大。

If you choose to drink, do so in moderation, up to 1 drink a day for women or 2 for men.

如果你選擇飲酒，那么請(qǐng)適度飲酒，女性每天維持在一杯，男性維持在兩杯。
