"drink" in this context means 1 Standard Unit of alcohol. Standards actually vary by country, but they're generally in line with the WHO's definition of 10g of alcohol.

tl/dr you have to do a bunch of ugly math because one pint of session ale is not the same alcohol amount as one pint of eisbock.

Obviously it is safest not to drink any alcohol at all, or perhaps one drink every now and then for some fringe benefits.

The UK's National Health Service recommends the maximum "low risk" intake of alcohol is no more than 14 standard units per week, and ideally no more than 3 units per day.
What is a unit? A complicated formula based on volume of booze and how alcoholic that booze is, but it roughly lines up with what a normal person would consider a normal serving of any given booze to be.

Remember that if at any point you are worried about how much alcohol you are drinking- or worse, worried about not being able to find a drink- you probably have alcoholism and should seek help.
