                                According to the Cleveland Clinic, consuming 80 grams of alcohol or more daily for five years can significantly increase the risk of alcohol-induced cardiomyopathy. The number of drinks that contain 80 grams of ethanol is not a simple, single figure, as it varies widely based on the size, type, and strength of the beverage, as well as the 'standard drink' definition used in different countries.
