Do you think before you drink?

The above article taps into how we think about drinking...do you know how may units you consume in a week and more to the point how many units we are advised to limit ourselves to drink.... and what effect this has on our health?

The equation for working out how many units we drink is -

Multiply the volume (in millilitres) by %ABV then divide the result by 1000.

Units = (volume (ml) x %ABV)
1000


(If the drinks container gives you the volume in cl, not ml, add a 0 on the end and put into the equation).  the World Health Organization recommends a week allowance of no more than 14 units for women and 21 units for men - do you know what you're drinking?
