Do you drink too much booze?

The advice regarding how much alcohol to consume safely is confusing. So here is a super-simple guide to make it easy for you, without complicated ‘units’.

In a nutshell, the average healthy adult can consume safely:

• 1 pint of beer or 1 glass of wine each day (one day alcohol-free)
• 2 measures of spirits daily (again one day alcohol-free)

Note this is either/or (not all at once!)

So in plain English (you can mix and match these):

In a week have no more than:

• 6 pints of beer or
• 6 glasses of wine or
• 14 measures spirits

Of course if you are having low-alcohol or no-alcohol alternatives, you can drink more. And that’s where the following spirits are also helpful.

Are no-alcohol spirits safe with driving?

The police say ideally have zero alcohol before driving. To help stop 200 people killed each year on our roads, due to alcohol-related accidents. The legal limit in Sweden is far tougher and Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Czech Republic have zero tolerance.

It’s difficult to gauge how much alcohol is ‘safe’ because you won’t be doing the maths of calculating units, and it also depends on a person’s sex, height, weight and if a person is dehydrated or taking medication.

If you do drink, the police suggest waiting at least an hour for each unit consumed (time is the only way to rid alcohol from your body – coffee, food or sleep don’t).

For example, if you drink 3 pints of lager or one bottle of wine at midnight, you’ll not be ‘sober’ until at least 9am the next morning.
