Millions of middle-aged men in the UK are putting their health at risk by exceeding the recommended 14 units of alcohol a week.
Findings from the alcohol industry-funded charity Drinkaware suggest that efforts are needed to persuade men they are putting their health in danger. Some 3.5 million men drink more than 14 units a week – the level that guidance from the UK’s chief medical officers suggests will keep their risk of alcohol-related liver disease and cancer low.
Many people have taken the decision to cut down their alcohol intake but we’d like to hear from men – and women who’ve stopped drinking altogether. Whether you quit for health reasons or decided to change your lifestyle, tell us about the day you stopped drinking and why you took that decision.
