How can I prevent alcohol use disorder?

To prevent alcohol problems, avoid high-risk drinking:

• For women: No more than four or more drinks in one day or eight or more drinks per week.
• For men: No more than five or more drinks in one day or 15 or more drinks per week.

If you drink more alcohol than that, consider cutting back or quitting. Talk to your healthcare provider about proven strategies.
