Research has shown that drinking alcohol in moderate amounts can be beneficial to the health, for men over the age of 40 and women in the menopause having a couple of small drinks per day can help in the prevention of heart disease.
Having said this it is also a fact that over a quarter of men and one in every six women drink enough alcohol to put their health at risk.
How much is too much? Guidelines suggest that men should drink no more than three to four units of alcohol per day and women should have no more than two to three units per day, it is important to remember that these units shouldn’t be stored up and used together all in one session and go on a binge drinking spree.
