safe drinking

Health Experts Recommend:

Men: Shouldn't exceed two pints of lager or beer, or three glasses of wine a day.
Women: Should not regularly exceed a pint or a couple of glasses of wine a day.
 

Ways to drink safely:

• Drink plenty of water.
   

• Eat well before you drink and your body will be better equipped to soak up the stuff. Go for food that takes a long time to digest, such as bread, cheese, potato and pasta, as this will line your stomach. A pint of milk is also thought to have the same effect.
   

• Try not to mix your drinks, because you're only adding to the number of toxins that your body has to deal with. If you're planning on a session then stick to one kind of falling-down juice. That way you won't crash out so badly.
   

• Try turning up to the bar or party later than usual, to minimize your drinking time, or kick off with a soft drink to stop you feeling so thirsty.
   

• Binge drinking is dangerous, as your body can only process one unit of alcohol per hour. If you can pace your drinking, and know when enough is enough, your system won't floor you the next day. Before you start drinking, be sure you know when to stop.

Drinking alcohol leads to a loss of coordination, poor judgment, distorted vision, even blackouts. But it can also damage every organ in your body.

Always have a Designated Driver (DD).

Designating a driver is the most responsible thing an individual can do: and remember, the Designated Driver is not the person who's the most sober.
