Writers and other celebrities have left us famous -sometimes funny, other times insightful- quotes in regard to drinking:
“Fill with mingled cream and amber,/ I will drain that glass again./ Such hilarious visions clamber/ Through the chamber of my brain —/ Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies/ Come to life and fade away;/ What care I how time advances?/ I am drinking ale today.”―Edgar Allan Poe
“I’m an occasional drinker, the kind of guy who goes out for a beer and wakes up in Singapore with a full beard.” ―Raymond Chandler
“First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you.” ―F. Scott Fitzgerald
However, the truth is that alcohol poses several health risks:
More than 14 units of alcohol a week damages your health.
The recommended weekly limit of 14 units is equivalent to 3 liters of average-strength beer or 11 glasses of wine.
There’s now a better understanding of the link between booze and some illnesses, including a range of cancers.
So, you might want to spread your intake over 4 days if you regularly take as much as 14 units a week.
If you really want to cut down, try to have several drink-free days each week
To reduce your health risks, try to limit how much you drink. Do it at a slower pace and with food, and alternate with soda, juices or water.
