Love it but keeping an eye on my unit counts. Getting a bit picky about what I drink - esp. crappy lager sold in pubs.

They've lowered the recommendations down to 14 units a week even for blokes now, I know plenty who drink that amount,
just to wash the dust from their throats. These limits, according to other experts, are a dubious arbiter of what is considered
excess, the original 28 was apparently just plucked out of the air during a meeting of medical professionals, now it's been dropped
to this level. I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm well over this, and it'll probably see me off eventually, but there is a nannying
culture now that seeks to prohibit many pleasures.
I think some folk are more susceptible to it's influence than others, a bit like how some people are still smoking at 90 odd
without snuffing it.

14 units is less than 1 pint per day, which means they're telling you to jack it in altogether.
Well they can get to fuck, eggs were bad for you, now they're telling us to eat more, so I'm just pre-empting the inevitable climbdown.

Along with butter and full fat milk. It's a load of shite. Move to Spain and your liver instantly toughens up and you can have 35 units a week.
