It’s Alcohol Awareness Week (6-12th July)!

Do you know how much is too much? The recommended limit is 14 units of alcohol a week—that’s around 6 pints of beer or 6 medium glasses of wine.

Regularly drinking over this amount can increase your risk of liver disease, heart problems, high blood pressure, and certain cancers.

If you’d like support to cut down, help is available:

Small changes can make a big difference to your health.
