It's recommended that alcohol units are consumed over the space of a week and not used up within one day
As many across Northern Ireland prepare for the Twelfth of July celebrations, a leading charity is encouraging people to be aware of their alcohol units.
ASCERT, a Northern Ireland charity and leading provider of services addressing drugs and alcohol related issues, recognised this as a growing issue. According to ASCERT, 14 units per week is the maximum recommended amount of alcohol to be consumed by both men and women - 14 units is equivalent to six pints of average strength beer. A large glass of 12% wine is three units.
Gary continued “Our website has self help tools that people can use in the privacy of their own home to check if their habits have become unhealthy and there are tips and advice on how people can drink less. ASCERT urges people to take some time to reflect on their relationship with alcohol and consider if it might be “time for a change”.If you are worried about your own alcohol use, or if you are affected by a family member's alcohol or substance misuse and need support, please get in touch.
