Abstract
Alcohol affects organisms in different ways. It is impossible to determine a consumption baseline where adverse effects outweigh benefits. Although the results regarding moderate alcohol consumption during pregnancy are inconsistent, it is not recommended that women consume alcohol throughout pregnancy. The adverse effects of alcohol stand against the positive effects on heart and blood circulation. Depending on dose, the correlation between alcohol consumption and the risk of various tumours has been demonstrated. The daily dose of alcohol for men should not exceed 20 g, for women, 10 g. Moderate alcohol consumption is not recommended in any case, but it can be tolerated.
