It is safe to drink alcohol over the recommended limit, says health adviser
It is safe to drink alcohol over the recommended limit, says health adviser
Do you trust our Government or their health advisors? You should read this article twice because the Government has been tellink us for over 20 years how much to drink,on the advice of health officials who MADE IT UP. Yes the 21/14 units of booze a week was made up. In fact you could drink up to 63 units a week before you have seriuos health problems.So moderation in all things? And have ASH been lieing about the dangers of second hand smoke and pressurising the government to bring in smoking bans?
"It is safe to drink alcohol over the recommended limit, says health adviser"
You can drink above the official recommended alcohol guidelines quite safely, a member of the Government's Health Committee admitted yesterday.
Retired GP Richard Taylor said: "Although I would still endorse the old Government limits, I would add the rider that if you step outside them within reason, it will not do you any harm."
His advice came after a member of the Royal College of Physicians working party - which set the limits 20 years ago - said they were "not based on very much scientific evidence".
The recommended weekly drinking limits are 21 units of alcohol for men and 14 for women. A half pint of beer is one unit, a glass of wine is one-and-a-half.
Subsequent studies found that moderate drinkers had low mortality rates, while a man drinking even 63 units a week had the same risk of death as a teetotaller.
Dr Taylor, MP for Wyre Forest, Worcestershire, said he did not think those exceeding the units "would be banging a nail in their coffin", adding: "If driving I would say one drink only and I am not advocating binge-drinking."
