> Are you saying that defining half of 7-14 (or 3.5.7) drinks per week as heavy seems insane to you?

Yes. I assert that drinking 3½–7 drinks a week sounds moderate. One or two drinks a week is light. Heavy drinking would be something like 24 or more.

I define the heaviness of drinking by intoxication, not cancer risk.

Ah, all the definitions of heavy in this comment section other than yours seem to be about health, so I think you may have moved the goalposts there.

The original quote in the article was about alcoholism: "That is a recipe for alcoholism."

I think maybe you moved the goalposts here.
