Are You Drinking Too Much Alcohol ?

A new report is asking for the governments current guidelines on alcohol consumption to be reviewed due to findings which now strongly recommend that people refrain from drinking alcohol at least 2 days a week. At the moment the government recommends that if you're a man you should consume no more than 21 units a week and if you're a woman you should drink no more than 14 units a week. In 1995 guidelines advised men to drink no more than 3-4 units per day and women 2-3 units per day - the new report believes that the recommendations made in 1995 might misleadingly imply that an adult may safely drink alcohol daily.

I must admit I like to have a glass of red wine at the end of the day, this being my particular tipple of choice because in the medical field red wine is widely believed to be good for ones health and I, probably like many others, was under the impression that it was safe to drink a moderate amount of alcohol per evening because of the very guidelines which are now being challenged for amendment. Therefore to be on the safe side, instead of abstaining from having a glass of wine 2 evenings per week, I have instead decided, until the government and other alcohol concerned related bodies can make up their mind as to how much an adult should drink each week, that I shall for the time being have a glass of red wine every other evening, so that I am at least someway to promoting my health whilst at the same time not tipping the balance by drinking too much alcohol that may be detrimental to my overall well being, it's a fine balance - oh well I suppose I had better not buy a wine rack in the sales after all, as I may find it too much of a temptation to resist its contents each and every evening...x
