"Heavy drinking" is a non-specific term that has little use in real life. The recommended alcohol intake is 1 unit (about .6 ounces of pure alcohol) per day for women, 2 for men. Women's livers do not process alcohol as efficiently as men's do, and men are usually larger, thus the difference.

Far more important than how much you drink is why you drink. If you feel that you need alcohol to feel normal, or to recover from the stresses of normal living, you may have a problem. We all say, "I need a drink!" from time to time. If you really mean it, look out.
