Q: .I drink at least two jiggers (three ounces) of gin most days, and lately, I’ve been drinking three. Is that too much for a 65 year old woman? I understand that women are more easily affected by alcohol than men.

I drink at least two jiggers (three ounces) of gin most days, and lately, I’ve been drinking three. Is that too much for a 65 year old woman? I understand that women are more easily affected by alcohol than men.

I think it’s too much. In the United States, a drink is often defined as 1.25 ounces of gin and other types of hard alcohol. So you’re having the equivalent of more than three drinks most days.
