Alcohol awareness
Most of us drink alcohol on all sorts of occasions and for many reasons and a small amount of alcohol can be enjoyable, but there are recommended guidelines for safe drinking limits.
The recommended daily intake for women and men target three specific areas of alcohol consumption:
- recommendations for people who drink alcohol regularly
- recommendations for single drinking episodes
- recommendations for pregnant women
The government guidelines state that both men and women are advised not to regularly drink more than 14 units a week and to try to have at least two alcohol-free days per week. Here is a table from Drinkaware demonstrating the alcohol guidelines and recommendations.
