Patients taking MAO inhibitors should be taught to avoid tyramine-rich foods. Chianti wine contains tyramine, but other alcoholic beverages do not.

2 tablespoons multiplied by 4 is equal to 8 tablespoons a day.

8 tablespoons multiplied by 8 days gets us to our magic number of 64 which is equivalent to the amount of 2 pints.

Answer= 8 days
