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  

are they going to make this a law,because i'm TT and didn't really want to start drinking

That recommended amount was literally a number pulled out from a polititians bottom!

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

See my post - a lot of arguments over this

[Martin_1962]

I drink between 1/2 pint and 1 litre a day of alcohol (exception wine days - half bottle)

Just checking

between 15 and 30 units a week

i dont think this bollo**s is meant for the people that drink in moderation... i think it's aimed more at the people that go out get plastered and have to have their stomach pumped... on more than one occasion!

[Jay w]

i drink what i feel comfortable with, and i will admit that recently i have chosen to cut down.....

That said i will generally have a few pints during the week with an evening meal and i always go out with a friend and have a couple of Jars on Friday, the weekend i will have a few dumpy bottles over the course of the weekend.

I don't get drunk, i enjoy my drink, i NEVER drive and i will not have someone tell me that i drink too much....

as Kevin said if i needed advice i would speak to a Doctor, not the nanny state

..and of course, if you have your stomach pumped, or it "self-pumps" of its' own volition and creates a "pavement pizza", does it really matter what you drank - or are they going to start measuring it on the way out too?

  I never get up to 1 litre in one day, I would hope that much would last at least 5 days.

One litre - 2 500ml cans of larger - 2 units, so I guess OK?

That's presuming it's beer, and not a litre of whisky

I really like whisky... but it does funny things to me  

[Mr Skrunts]

How much is too much . . .easy


Enough is when you can remember what you are doing and are able to stop yourself doing it.

Too much is not being able to remember or stop yourself from doing it.

Either way the unit scale I would imagine varied from person to person.

Mike F for example could manage 2 units a night and be safe so his limit is 14 units a week, he thinks he actully manages his 21 units a week OK but rumour has it his wife starts to water it down on the 2nd each nightcoz he cant take it.

a liter of whisky normally knocks down every person..Except my cousin  

by the way the govt here have a easier solution..closes the alcohol selling shops one by one..and dont give new licenses

and takes very high taxes over alcohol

Why?

[bob.dent]

I easily do my weekly "limit" on a Friday or Saturday or both!
If we took notice of all these so called "experts" with their guide lines on what you should eat and drink, how much you should eat and drink and smoking issues, what a miserable bl00dy life it would be.

I think I'd rather have a slightly shorter but happy life rather then a miserable longer life.
