Alcohol guidelines

Alcohol guidelines provide recommendations to help reduce health risks associated with drinking. They typically suggest limits on how much and how often adults should consume alcohol. For example, many organizations recommend no more than 14 units per week for men and women, spread out over several days with alcohol-free days. Drinking below these limits minimizes risks like liver disease, accidents, and certain cancers. It's also advised to avoid drinking if pregnant, planning to drive, or have health conditions affected by alcohol. These guidelines aim to support safe drinking habits and long-term health.
