Two Glasses Too Many: A Call for Self-Reflection on Our Drinking Habits

A recent Medscape article highlights a surprising truth: binge drinking for women is defined as six units of alcohol in one session—about two large glasses of wine. Yet so few people recognize when they’re doing it.

BBC journalist Hazel Martin shared her personal story of being diagnosed with alcohol-related liver disease at just 31. She didn’t think her drinking habits were excessive—she was simply doing what everyone around her was doing. Her story underscores how easily social norms can blur the line between casual drinking and real harm.

We often see this in our own circles—friends, family, even ourselves—enjoying “just a couple of drinks” without realizing when a casual habit becomes a health concern.

This blog is merely a suggestion to engage in self-reflection—a chance to pause and consider how our habits align with our health goals. Self-awareness shouldn’t equate to guilt. Awareness is simply a step toward better choices and better health.
