title: On call. As a physician, I find Harvard Men's Health Watch very helpful for my patients and as a 63-year-old man, I find it interesting and helpful for myself. But I'm puzzled by your November 2001 article, which recommends two drinks a day as the safe maximum. I remember reading an editorial in The Lancet a few years ago that recommended up to 25 drinks a week, or three a day. Which dose of alcohol is correct?
