National Health Service (NHS) Alcohol Guidelines

The NHS Alcohol Guidelines recommend that men and women should not regularly drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week, spread over several days with several alcohol-free days. This helps reduce health risks such as liver disease, cancer, and mental health issues. It's advised to avoid binge drinking—drinking large amounts at once—as it can be harmful even if weekly limits aren’t exceeded. For those who choose to drink, keeping within these guidelines promotes better health, but the safest option is not to drink alcohol at all.
