[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How big is he? That beer is low alcohol. I wouldn’t worry [/quote]

+1  Even three of these a night isn't as much alcohol as a double or triple IPA which a lot of people like.  Drinking every single night is not a great habit to get into but this is the equivalent of a glass of wine, alcohol-wise.[/quote]

No, he is having the equivalent of almost 3 glasses of wine per night: 
A 5 oz. glass of 12% APV wine is "one drink." 
A 12 oz. 5% APV beer is also "one drink"
His 12 oz. light beer is 4.5% APV, so each one is only a smidge less than a regular 12 oz. beer or a glass of wine, more like two 5oz. glasses of riesling at 5% or one Prosecco at 11% APV per beer.

IPAs are 7-10% so by the ounce "one drink" is ~6 oz for the higher volume. Note also, most people who think they are having 'a glass' of wine are often having 1.5 to 2 per pour, as few people pour 5 oz. -- restaurants routinely ask if you want 6 or 9 oz so one glass is always more than "one drink" health wise.[/quote]
