Alcohol
The law states you have to be 18 to buy and drink alcohol on licensed premises such as bars, clubs and off licences. The law is there for a reason - drinking alcohol can harm your health, cause accidents to yourself or others and make you vulnerable to crime.
The recommended maximum levels of alcohol units a week are:
- 14 units for women
- 21 units for men
But do you know how many units each drink is worth? The Mind Body Soul website breaks it all down and gives you the myths and facts.
If you think you might have a problem with drink or you're worried about a friend or family member then talk to someone who can help - your Personal Adviser, for example, or Connexions Direct. Addictions don't go away on their own...
