This concept has been adopted in many countries to promote responsible drinking. It provides a simple way to measure alcohol content and make informed choices about consumption.

The Chief Medical Officers' guidelines for both men and women are: to keep health risks from alcohol to a low level it is safest not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis. if you regularly drink as much as 14 units per week, it is best to spread your drinking evenly over 3 or more days .Upper limit 14 units per week is the amount that can be efficiently digested by the liver , and acceptable dose for a healthy body and healthy life.When you go over this dose then you are risking numerous changes to your health,immunity , behaviour,mental health, sleep , mood to name a few and can have a huge impact.
