Drinkaware has much more information and handy unit calculators for many popular drinks.
The current UK guidelines state that you shouldn't drink more than 14 units in a week – so that's about seven pints of beer, or a bottle and half of wine. And you shouldn't drink all of your weekly units in one go, it's better to spread them over several days. Other countries have different recommendations.
Only you yourself can decide that. The guidelines and other information about the health risks of alcohol use can be helpful in deciding how much you want to drink. There are also different tests you can take – we have one you can do online, completely anonymously (see below).
AUDIT is the most commonly used test to quickly find out how harmful your alcohol use is. It was developed by the World Health Organisation, and is used all over the world, by doctors and other health care professionals.
You can click on the link below, answer 10 questions, get your score, and also some advice on your drinking habits. The test is completely anonymous – we will save your answers but have no way of knowing who you are. If you want to save your test results for future reference, you can do so by signing up to Club Soda (it's all free!) and completing the test on your personal profile page. You can then compare your results over time.
