As a health professional with expertise in nutrition and wellness, I can provide you with guidelines on alcohol consumption. It's important to note that the concept of "safe" levels of alcohol can vary greatly depending on individual factors such as age, sex, health status, and genetic predispositions. However, there are general recommendations that can be considered.

For men, moderate drinking is defined as up to 2 drinks per day.
For women, it's up to 1 drink per day. A standard drink is typically considered to be:
- 12 ounces of beer (with about 5% alcohol content)
- 5 ounces of wine (with about 12% alcohol content)
- 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits (with about 40% alcohol content)

It's crucial to understand that these are not recommended consumption levels, but rather guidelines to help individuals who choose to drink, do so in a way that minimizes potential health risks. It's also worth mentioning that abstaining from alcohol is the only way to completely avoid the risks associated with alcohol consumption.
