Lower-risk drinkers
Lower-risk drinking means that you have a low risk of causing yourself future harm. However, drinking consistently within these limits is called "lower-risk" rather than "safe" because drinking alcohol is never completely safe.
To be a lower-risk drinker, the NHS recommends that:
• Men should not regularly drink more than 3-4 units a day.
• Women should not regularly drink more than 2-3 units a day.
"Regularly" means drinking this amount every day or most days of the week.
Even drinking less than this is not advisable in some circumstances. Drinking any alcohol can still be too much if you’re going to drive, operate machinery, swim or do strenuous physical activity.
Pregnant women or women trying to conceive should avoid alcohol altogether. When you drink, alcohol reaches your baby through the placenta. Too much exposure to alcohol can seriously affect your baby's development.
If you're pregnant and choose to drink, do not drink more than 1-2 units of alcohol once or twice a week, and do not get drunk. This will minimise the risk to the baby. Read more on pregnancy and alcohol.
People who drink should aim to be in the lower-risk category to minimise the health risks.
