but further "three beers a day" would not even come close to any definition of chronic, heavy drinking.
That's a weird thing to say.
Assume a 330 ml bottle of beer at 5%. That's 1.65 units per bottle; 4.95 units per day. If we only do 6 days, and have one day drink free we get 29 units, which is double the recommended level of 14 units a week.
You're certainly increasing your risk of a wide range of disease, including a number of cancers, by drinking this much.

Perhaps. Neither the op nor I were discussing that.
He specifically mentioned "ruin(ing) your liver". I believed that to be inaccurate. Wikipedia ensued.
