NMN or NR and alcohol: daily dose and drink log
Log each day's NMN or NR dose and the standard drinks you have, with sleep and stomach symptoms, then compare your weekly total with NIAAA's heavy-drinking definitions. Includes questions to take to your clinician.
NIAAA definitions
- A US standard drink contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol: a 12-ounce regular beer at 5%, a 5-ounce glass of wine at 12%, or a 1.5-ounce shot of spirits at 40%.[1]
- Heavy drinking for men: five or more drinks on any day, or 15 or more per week.[2]
- Heavy drinking for women: four or more drinks on any day, or eight or more per week.[2]
- Binge drinking brings blood alcohol to 0.08% or higher, typically five or more drinks for men or four or more for women in about two hours.[2]

Talk to a clinician before carrying on if
- Your weekly or daily drinking reaches NIAAA's heavy-drinking line
- You have, or are being treated for, alcohol use disorder
- You have liver disease or abnormal liver tests
- You take blood-pressure medicine and feel dizzy or faint after drinking
- You flush strongly after small amounts of alcohol
Questions for your clinician
- Is my drinking a reason to stop NMN or NR?
- Should my liver tests be checked?
- Could alcohol plus NMN or NR affect my blood-pressure or diabetes medicines?
- What support is available if I want to cut down?
