Low risk :
Drinking small amounts of alcohol can be a pleasant social activity
for many people. Indeed drinking small quantities of alcohol can
reduce the risk of heartdisease for older people if it does not
conflict with any medication being taken.
The following information is based on units of alcohol.One unit of
alcohol contains about 10g of alcohol and is roughly equivalent to:
1 bottle (250ml) of ordinary strength beer (4 - 5 % alcohol)
1 glass (100ml) of wine
1 small glass of vodka (25mg of vodka)
But beware: Drinks often contain two or more units in a single glass!
If you drink up to two unitsa day of alcohol free from impurities
there is little chance of any risk to your health.
If you regularly drink more than two units a day there is an
increasing risk to yourhealth.
If you drink more than fourunits in any one day there is an increased
risk of injury and accidents as wellas an increasing risk to your
health.

As the amount we drink and the number of times we drink increases,
then so do the risks.

disorders; depression and emotional disorders; cancers, particularly
of the mouth, throat and gullet; hepatitis and cirrhosis of the liver;
