Alcohol and Your Health

Alcohol and Your Health

Drinking alcohol is part of many people’s lives, but it’s important to know how it can affect your health. The current UK guidelines recommend drinking no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread over at least 3 days. Regularly drinking above this limit increases your risk of a range of health problems, including liver disease, heart issues, and mental health concerns.
