Cut Alcohol to Less Than One Drink a Day, Britons Are Warned - Bloomberg Business

Cut Alcohol to Less Than One Drink a Day, Britons Are Warned - Bloomberg Business: "Men and women should drink no more than six pints of beer or standard glasses of wine a week, according to new U.K. government guidelines that warn that any level of alcohol consumption raises the risk of cancer.
The new guidance, published in London on Friday, lowers the recommended maximum intake for men to 14 U.K. units of alcohol a week, the same as for women, from 21 units. A pint of beer with a 4 percent alcohol content or a medium-sized 175-milliliter glass of wine contains 2.3 units. People of both sexes are urged to have several alcohol-free days a week."
