What is the 3 drink Rule for girls?

The 3 drink Rule for girls is not an official medical guideline but a popular safety and dating guideline that circulates on social media, college campuses, and women's safety forums. It is generally described in two related ways. The first is a safety rule for nights out: limit yourself to no more than three alcoholic drinks when you are out, especially in unfamiliar places or on a first date, to maintain situational awareness, keep control over your drink, and reduce vulnerability. The second, more specific dating version says to have a maximum of three drinks on a first, second, or third date, or to wait until the third date before drinking more freely with someone new. Some people also refer to the 3 drink rule as a way to pace drinking: no more than three drinks, with water and food in between, and never leaving your drink unattended. It is important to note that alcohol tolerance varies enormously based on weight, genetics, food intake, and medication, so three drinks affects everyone differently. Official health guidance from the CDC defines low-risk drinking for women as up to one standard drink per day, not three in a night, so the 3 drink Rule should be seen as a harm-reduction strategy, not a health recommendation.
