Are you drinking too much alcohol? Use our eye-opening calculator to find out…
Treat yourself to a well-deserved glass of wine every evening, assuming it won’t do any harm?
Unfortunately for you, this means you’ll exceed the 14 units per week recommended by health authorities.
That limit – considered the tipping point in terms of health-related harm – is equivalent to about six pints of beer or one and a half bottles of wine.
MailOnline’s handy calculator can help you work out how many units you consume per week and how that compares to the UK guideline.
Simply answer how much beer, wine, alcopops and spirits you drink each week.
The NHS advises anyone consuming 14 units a week to spread this evenly over at least three days.
It also says that it’s safest not to drink alcohol at all if you’re pregnant or trying to conceive.
‘One unit is equivalent to 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, which is roughly the amount of alcohol the average adult can drink in an hour,’ the NHS explains on its alcohol advice page.
‘You can calculate how many units are in a drink by multiplying the total volume of a drink (in ml) by the alcohol percentage (measured as a percentage) and dividing the result by 1,000.’
