Drink responsibly

*How much is too much?

Many experts advise that people should not regularly drink more than their daily unit guidelines:

Men: 3-4 units of alcohol
Women: 2-3 units of alcohol

This advice applies regardless of how often you drink alcohol; you shouldn't interpret the guidance as allowing you to "save up" your units so you can drink them all on a Friday night.

*You should always ask the advice of your Doctor.
 

What is a unit?

The size and strength of your drink will determine the number of units it contains. It's not quite as simple as one drink, one unit - a glass of wine can range between just over one unit and more than three units depending on the size of the glass and type of wine.

Remember, when you're drinking at home, you tend to pour measures that are larger than you get in your local.
