Its an interesting question this.
Health authority guidlines say we should not drink more than 4 units per day or 12 units per week
Now given that a pint is approx 2.5 units (or up to about 4 for the really strong brews.......)
A single short is 1 unit
And a small glass of wine is 1 unit (some pub measures are up to 3 units)
So time to confess folks how many units per week are we all doing ?
I used to drink shed loads, so much I might as well have had a line running straight from the local brewery. When as an exercise i sat down and worked out my weekly units intake it came out at a staggering 120.
These days I am a good boy. I only drink occassionally - never more often than twice a week and never exceed 5 units in a day.
