According to NHS adults should not regularly exceed 2 – 3 units per day (for women) and 3 – 4 units per day (for men)?
It means that for instance 1 and half drink containing 50 ml spirit will be the limit for women while 2 of the same drinks for men.
Large glass of wine will have 2.2 units which is already almost a daily limit for women.
Small / 330 ml bottle of stronger 8% beer has 2.6 units.
And don’t forget that all those yummy boozy desserts count, too.
Additionally we all need at least 2 alcohol-free days per week.
