According to the NHS, there are ways to keep our risk of alcohol-related harm low.

These include:

not regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week
if you drink as much as 14 units a week, it's best to spread this evenly over three or more days
if you're trying to reduce the amount of alcohol you drink, it's a good idea to have several alcohol-free days each week

You could be misusing alcohol if:

you feel you should cut down on your drinking
other people have been criticising your drinking
you feel guilty or bad about your drinking
you need a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover

If you're concerned about your drinking or someone else’s, a good first step is to visit your GP. They'll be able to discuss the services and treatments available.

If you think you or someone you know might be suffering from alcohol addiction, you can find support here.
