The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) state that if alcohol is consumed, it should be consumed in moderation, which is defined as up to two drinks in a single day for men and one drink for women. The purpose of this analysis was to estimate the percentages of adults who, on a given day, drank more than these limits and the percentages who drank too heavily; that is, more than four drinks for men and more than three for women. Dietary intake data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2009-2010, were analyzed. Using a computer-assisted protocol, 24-hour dietary recalls were collected from 2,740 men and 2,941 women, age 21 years and older. Results were weighted to be nationally representative. Estimated mean daily intake was 1.2 drinks for men and 0.4 for women (1 drink=14 g of ethanol). On a given day, 36% of men and 21% of women consumed alcohol. Whereas 82% of men and 89% of women did not exceed the DGA's limits, 8% of men had more than four drinks, and 3% of women had more than three, amounts defined as heavy. The percentages who drank more than the DGA's limits varied by age group and were highest among men age 31 to 50 years and women age 51 to 70 years. Excessive drinking is an important health problem and is not limited to college-age individuals. Registered dietitians and other health professionals should be aware of excessive drinking by the adult US population. Consumer education resources are available.
2010 年美国人饮食指南（DGA）指出，如果饮酒，应适量，男性每天最多两杯，女性每天一杯。本分析的目的是估计在特定的一天内，超过这些限制的成年人的百分比以及饮酒过量的成年人的百分比；也就是说，男性超过四杯，女性超过三杯。分析了 2009-2010 年全国健康和营养检查调查的饮食摄入数据。使用计算机辅助协议，从 21 岁及以上的 2740 名男性和 2941 名女性中收集了 24 小时饮食记录。结果经过加权处理，以具有全国代表性。估计男性的平均每日摄入量为 1.2 份，女性为 0.4 份（1 份=14 克乙醇）。在特定的一天，36%的男性和 21%的女性饮酒。虽然 82%的男性和 89%的女性没有超过 DGA 的限制，但 8%的男性饮酒超过四杯，3%的女性饮酒超过三杯，这被定义为重度饮酒。超过 DGA 限制的百分比因年龄组而异，在 31 至 50 岁的男性和 51 至 70 岁的女性中最高。过度饮酒是一个重要的健康问题，不仅限于大学生群体。注册营养师和其他健康专业人员应该意识到美国成年人的过度饮酒问题。有消费者教育资源可用。
