The government state that a male should drink no more than 21 units per week, or 4 units per day, with at least two days when he consumes nothing at all.

That works out at around a pint and a half or beer / lager a day being your limit, with a requirement to have nothing at all for two nights of the week.

What do you think of this recommended limit? Discuss

Drink what you want as long as you don't drink and drive

[Richie London]

[tyreburner]

Already established that the people who set these limits based them on pure guesswork.

200 years ago, we all lived on (weak) beer. Darwin weeded out the water drinkers with cholera and typhoid.

I think it's rubbish and another stick for the media and government to beat us with.

It just occured to me, after reading this article, that I am sure I do drink quite a bit more than this. Just wanted to check I'm not a lone alcoholic  

[Vamps]

This has been around for a long time now
I enjoy the odd tipple in the evening, most evenings, during recent medical / blood tests my GP said there was no evidence of over drinking, carry on............

Are we allowed to see the stats on what they drink in their cheap(free?) bars in the Houses of Parliament? Bet they hit the limit regularly, especially at the moment

[cem_devecioglu]

dont know actually .. I learned mine with bad experiences..

now when I feel happy its enough..


 I never drink with empty stomach..

 always drink slowly..

And mostly consume strong distilled drinks..

If I cared, I'd ask a doctor, not nanny state.

I drink nowhere near this amount personally, but not out of self-righteousness, just disinterest.

I'd be worried about myself if I drank every day (even 5 days a week). I probably drink once a month or so and am lucky if I can go beyond 3 pints.

I know I'm a sissy.

[cem_devecioglu]

and to answer the question, forcing a limit is a stupid idea
