I consider myself a light-to-moderate drinker. But I’m not certain. I don’t go out much these days (young kids), but I do like a beer or glass of wine of a weekend. Or sometimes of a Tuesday. I reckon, on average, I probably consume in the region of 3-6 glasses of wine and 1-2 pints of beer. Maybe with the occasional G&T somewhere in there too. Which likely equates to something close to the UK government recommendation of a maximum of 14 units per week. But sometimes it’s definitely a lot more than this…

On a week where I’m socialising, maybe out one night and friends visiting another night, then it could easily be two or three times this much. Which is kind of scary. And this is definitely way less than I used to drink when I was, for example, a student… Yikes!

It’s difficult to know how that stacks up against a national average for men my age, but there is some broader data on UK alcohol consumption here: Adult drinking in the UK
