To pace yourself, have no more than one standard drink per hour, with nonalcoholic "drink spacers" between alcohol beverages. Note that it takes about 2 hours for the adult body to completely break down a single drink. Stay within low-risk levels: For men, no more than 4 standard drinks on any day (and 14 per week), and for women, no more than 3 on any day (and 7 per week).
For drinks not included above, try the "Check your drink" option. Search online for your drink recipe, if need be. Enter the ingredients and amounts using the drop-down menus or the "+ Add it" feature. Also enter the percent alcohol by volume (% alc/vol) for the alcohol ingredients. The % alc/vol, which is half the "proof," can be found on distilled spirits bottle labels or online. If you want to estimate the "strength" or overall alcohol content of the drink, be sure to enter the nonalcohol ingredients, including water or melted ice consumed with the drink.
