Christmas drinking survival
Alcohol Concern has come up with these top tips for safer drinking for Christmas partygoers - whether you’re going out or hosting your own celebrations.
What is a unit of alcohol?
Women can drink two to three units of alcohol per day and men three to four units a day without damaging their health.
As a rough guide:
- one pint of normal strength beer contains two units
- one 25ml measure of spirits contains one unit of alcohol
- one 175ml glass of wine (12 per cent abv) contains two units and a 250ml glass contains three units
- one 330ml alcopop (4.5 per cent - 5.5 per cent abv) contains one-and-a-half units to two units
- one 440ml can of strong lager (4.6 per cent - 6 per cent abv) contains three units
Home measures are often larger, so watch the size of your drinks.
