How many units of alcohol do you drink a week ?

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.

I take it he does not drive then!

Those who may be concerned that their blood alcohol levels are dropping below recommended levels should get themselves over to St Niklaas in Belgium this weekend to top up: ZBF - Zythos Beer Festival

Between 16-20 Units a week I reckon. Fairly pleased with that as it keeps me just under the recommended weekly limit.

Its such as hard one to call though. In January I drank about 8 units in 3 weeks and then the weekend of the Villa game I stayed up in Manchester and consumed around 50 units over the course of the weekend.

I am better at setting myself challenges now when it comes to abstaining though. In summer last year I did 21 days without a drop, which may not seem like a lot but if you think about how long you would go generally without consuming ANY alcohol it is actually quite a long period. My parents are borderline teetotal but would have at least 3-4 glasses of wine within any 21 day period.
