What's acceptable?
Men: It's recommended that adult men drink no more than 21 units per week. On average that's two pints of beer, or three glasses of wine a day.
Women: It's recommended that women do not exceed 14 units of alcohol per week. That's a pint or a couple of glasses of wine a day.
The male body is made up of 66% fluid, compared to 55% for women. This means alcohol is more diluted in a man's body than a woman's. As a result, women tend to get drunk faster than men on the same amount of alcohol.
