How much alcohol is too much?

Drinkaware is working to reduce the alcohol abuse and loss of an independent charity United Kingdom and the United States. We've come here to help the best of people who love drinking.

Everyone responds to alcohol separately. Your height, weight, and gender are some of the factors that affect you in alcohol that affect some parts. You can also feel how you feel when you even get to eat that day or even how much you've had to sleep.

Low Risk Drinking Directions

To keep alcohol low on health risks, the UK's Chief Medical Officer (CMO) low risk assessment guide recommends that it is not safe to drink more than 14 units per week.

The more alcohol you drink, the more risks to the development of short and long-term health problems. And it just does not have to worry about you about your liver. Alcohol consumption is associated with several serious health conditions including heart disease, high blood pressure, poor mental health, and seven types of cancer.

After the advice of CMO Dr.
It is not a way to explain the suggestions of CMOs to save your weekly units so that you can drink them on Friday night.

If you drink 14 units a week, it is best to spread your intake throughout the week. If you drink 14 units per week daily, spread your drink equally on three or more days.

A better way to cut the overall amount you drink is to take more days to drink more free of the week. That's why we have created a tool that lets you test your drink, provides your risk information and suggests your results.

What is a unit of alcohol?
It's not as easy as one drink, one unit.

Your drink size and power will determine the number of units connected to it. Depending on the glass size and the type of wine one glass can be just one unit and the range between three units. And those who like to drink at home, pour a larger size than you into a pub, bar or restaurant. So you can regularly drink a lot more than you think.

A great way to lose track of the amount of alcohol you are entering at home is to use one of our unit measurement cups.



Alcohol tolerance
It is not important that if you are not regularly 'drunk' you are still drinking at low risk guidelines. Those who drink regular drinks have a tolerance up. This may mean that you see at least the effects of alcohol, but the fact is that the more you get the risk of your health. If you develop tolerance that may be the primary sign of alcohol dependence. If you feel that you can be dependent on alcohol, or if you have a physical withdrawal symptoms (such as shaking, sweating, vomiting before drinking your first drink), you will need to seek medical advice from your GP before drinking it.

You can reset your tolerance about taking a break from alcohol.

A good place to start is finding out how many units your beverage has.
