It is important to keep track of how much alcohol you drink because exceeding safe levels can increase your risk of serious health problems, including liver disease, heart disease, and certain cancers.
Both men and women should not regularly consume more than 14 units of alcohol per week, and these should be spread evenly across several days with alcohol-free days in between. A unit is a simple way of expressing the amount of pure alcohol in a drink: one unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol.
By monitoring your intake in units, you can make informed choices, avoid binge drinking, and reduce long-term health risks while staying within recommended guidelines.
Use the table below to monitor how much alcohol you consume a week.
