Responsible Drinking

The UK Government advises that no-one should regularly drink more than fourteen units of alcohol per week. Consistently drinking more than 14 units a week carries progressive health risks. After an episode of heavy drinking, it is advisable to refrain from drinking for 48 hours. In some situations like pregnancy, it’s better to avoid drinking alcohol entirely.  For more information see www.drinkaware.co.uk.
