What constitutes "more than a few" here?
The other comment is a pretty good baseline (1 a day), but there is some nuance to it. Gender/body size/age, etc all play a role. And it matters if youre literally doing 1 a day or averaging 1 a day. Having 7 drinks every saturday is not the same and have 1 drink with dinner every day.
The best answer is, consult your medical professional

"I love trying to get in the pants of addicts!"
Christ you seem like a slimy dude.
Who said anything about trying to get in their pants? Why is this suddenly about taking sexual advantage of an addict?

They are literally saying that someone getting drunk in the middle of the day is a "bright green flag"
A green flag for what?

Based in reality, yes. Based as in the common colloquialism to mean something cool and relatable, no.
It's very relatable though

Don't do bees in their knees either, kids

Cool? No. Relatable? Unfortunately yes for many.

I think a lot of politicians also do it.

Buddy of mine worked in health care, did urine testing. He's got stories about people coming in way over the legal limit to drive but come across as sober

How is being a school bus driver? I lost my job recently and I've been struggling to land another thanks to the current job market. There's a part of me that's hedging and looking at what else I might be able to do for work if I can't land another IT role quickly enough
I just became a city bus driver a few months ago. It's not the most exciting job there ever was. I'm in a smaller Midwestern city, so we don't deal with nearly the amount of bs (violent drug addicts and or mentally ill people) that bigger metro areas get. The pay is decent, not great but enough. The benefits are top notch though. Good pension, best health plan I've ever had.

Nothing green about alcoholism. I enjoy my beer, gin and occasionall hangover but alcohol addiction is nothing to celebrate
A single shot seems more like a habit than functional alcoholism

No, they're usually on a strict diet of paint thinner

Musicians, comedians. Any job where you have to be socially / performatively "on".

yep. needing 4 drinks to get right, that sounds quite severe too. even needing 1 is a massive red flag. when the body shakes the morning after drinking, it can be a sign that your body is no longer able to function without alcohol.
detox will need to be medically managed at that point as cold turkey is now life threatening; quitting drinking will seem impossible and yet has now become more urgent than ever
Not even close. 4 drink base-line does not need to be medically managed. Two day sweat out and you're reset. You could even have 2 beers the second night and still reset to 0 within the two days.
You don't hit medically managed territory till your at a bottle or liquor everyday for more than a few days territory.

Aha yes, Teaching.
Any more that that and the TV trolley is coming out.

Sounds like me with my $20 when I'm on jury duty
Explain to a fellow European why jury duty is so universally hated in the United States of America. I always pictured it as an exciting opportunity with a certain responsibility.

more than a few drinks a weekMore than 0. There is no save amount of alcohol. But almost nothing we do is save. Go outside in the sun? Cancer! Eat fat/sugar? Heart/Liver failure! Stress from work and doomscrolling? Depression and anxiety!
Choose your poison, but know it is poisonous! Cheers
For sure, but in the context of "fucking up your brain" I'm talking about the line where you move from "increasing your risk of certain problems" to "actively developing lesions in your brain".

New recommendations are something like 2 per week max.
