Well, they are not legal limits, they are guidelines, and as such they are quite valid - in lack of tried-and-tested limits, that can be valid for all. Such limits will never be found ...
The 14/21 guidelines are actually based in studies - which have shown, that people who drink less than 2 - 3 drinks a day, and never have more than 5 drinks in one day, are less likely to suffer from a number of lifestyle deceases, than those who drink more, and who binge-drink.
But they provide no guarantee for the individual, that staying within the limit will keep one safe from illnesses.
And as I mentioned before, such limits will never exist, because a 100% reliable limit is very individuel, and is based on a lot of other factors in your life. The stress factor in your work, how much money you make, the environment where you live, your diet, your family life, your general sense of security, your level of exercise and your genes etc.
There really is no way of telling what you personal limit is, until your life is over. Maybe not even then ...
Other studies have been published to show, that red wine is healthier than beer and alcohols like vodka and whicky - and even healthier than white wine. Well thatøs a little bit backwards .. because the studies have shown, that people who prefer red wine have less health problems from their drinking.
And that's probably because these people tend to eat healthier in general ... so is red wine healthier? Or does it seem so, because healthy people just happen to choose red wine ...

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers would tear the legislature apart if that were to be changed. Also, where would local governments and attorneys find almost 'free' money like that?
Even though he made it up a lot of people are making money on it. No one is going to give that up.
