‘Stay off alcohol 2 days a week’

DRINKERS should give themselves two alcohol-free days a week, a committee of British MPs said.

The Commons’ Science and Technology Committee believed abstaining from alcohol at least twice a week would help people’s health.

Revealing their findings, the MPs also demanded a review of sensible drinking guidelines amid fears they are unclear. “Sensible” drinking limits were defined 25 years ago as 21 units of alcohol a week for men and 14 for women.
