How many units of alcohol do you drink a week ?

[Uncle Spielberg]

Are you above the 21-28 units a week. I know for the away day lads that is probably a quiet Saturday out.

6 pints (circa 18 units?) max a week- I'm done with daylong nausia/migraine hangovers.

[Uncle Spielberg]

One of my ex colleagues drank about 3-4 pints and 1/2 a bottle of wine a weekday and more at the weekend which is around 70 + units a week. He is 50 and in robust health. He also said he has drunk everyday and the last time he did not have a drink for a day was 20 years ago.

11-20 on a heavy week
6-10 on a normal

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Probably 8 pints in total from Monday to Thursday. Then another 10 pints on a Friday and/or Saturday with a few rum+cokes and shots thrown in for good measure.

No idea how many units that makes though

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

One of my clients also drinks 1.5 litres of whisky and 12 cans of Cider a day which is 90 units a week and is also fit and 50 and a hard working professional. Its not necessarily big or clever but the maximum units figure is a figure plucked out of the air by the
Government and holds no medical grounds to it.

 

[Simster]

Half a bottle of wine and maybe 3 beers a week I'd guess.

Absolutely no alcohol for Match and April though - I have a marathon to run.

[Acker79]

0 on a normal week.
1-8 on a heavy week

I'm hardcore.

5 pints a week is a heavy week ?.

 

[sureyyathegodofthephonein]

Maybe 4 drinks a week really i don't really count i don't drink at home i only drink when out with friends or watching Albion so it's a bit hit and miss really

 

[beorhthelm]

whats a unit?


but seroiusly, most dont know/care, they are inconsistant in much of the NHS/gov literature and turns out the recommended limits where made up with little or no evidence to back them.

One of my clients also drinks 1.5 litres of whisky and 12 cans of Cider a day

im not sure id believe that. for one thing, the effort required would leave little time for anything else. and thats more like 90 units a day

Whether he knows it or not yet but that will be absolutely destroying his liver and other internal organs. That will definately catch up with him and probably after it's too late to do anything.

I'm not one to preach, but he may appear fit, but that can't be doing his body any good at all. If 1.5 litres of whisky a day doesn't make you an alcholic, then at least his liver must be f*cked, surely - he'd also likely have high blood pressure, I would imagine.

11-20 is. Whats the matter with you today?

 

[Box of Frogs]

I have an app on my iPhone called Drinks Tracker - you add in your drinks on a daily basis and it calculates what your average units per day is.

My average daily units in the last 7 days is 3.4 which is within the daily recommended amount for men. For the last 30 days, may average daily units is 3.5. The recommended daily amount is 3 to 4 units so I try and achieve that!!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The thread read UNITS a week. What is wrong with you today ?.

I meant a week.
