Did you know that UK official guidelines state that in order to keep the risk of health consequences directly linked to alcohol consumption low, no more than 14 units should be consumed over a week.
A 750ml bottle of red, white or rosé wine that contains 13.5% alcohol (wines typically range from 11% to 14%) is the equivalent of 10 units!
Drinking alcohol is commonplace in our society. But when does social drinking become routine, when does routine become habit, and when does habit become dependency? It can be tricky to know how much alcohol you drink, and guidelines can be confusing. This programme can help you know your habits around alcohol.
Use our PCN’s SilverCloud programme to take a fresh look at how much and why you drink, and to assess your relationship with alcohol. You can take an honest look at your situation, without feeling that someone is watching over your shoulder.
We want you to understand if you are on the road to dependency; and if alcohol has become a problem for you, what your options are.
