It is really easy to let your drinks all add up. New guidelines suggest that we should have no more than 14 units per week with several alcohol free drinking days. It is also important not to save your units up for a binge. With all this in mind, we have created a virtual bar where you can drag your weekly amount of alcohol onto the bar and see how much calories and units you clock up in a week. The results may be surprising to you.
Some ideas to get you thinking:
-
Think of the lunch breaks where you grab a beer with your meal.
-
That glass of wine mid week when you come home after a busy day.
-
Watching the match at home.
-
The Curry night with a few beers.
-
The Friday night alcohol that carries over the weekend.
These all add up and being mindful of your intake is essential to avoiding health risks like cancers and other alcohol related illness.
