The NHS information centre has released the latest 'Health Survey for England - 2009: Health and lifestyles'. The annual survey measures health-related behaviours and lifestyles in England including alcohol consumption, smoking and diet. On alcohol it reports:
"The current recommendations for daily alcohol intake are that it should not regularly exceed three to four units for men and two to three units for women. In the last week, 43% of men and 31% of women had drunk more than the recommended maximum on at least one day. This includes 25% of men and 15% of women who had drunk more than twice the recommended maximum.
Younger age groups and those with higher incomes were most likely to have drunk more than twice the recommended limits on at least one day in the last week." > > > > Read More
