Get to know the basics and try your best to stick to the recommended daily limits – 3-4 units for men and 2-3 units for women. To give you a rough idea, a pint of beer is 2.3 units and a small glass of wine (175ml) is 1.9 units. The Drink Aware calculator is a great tool that adds up all your drinks and gives you the total in units and calories so you can see exactly what you’ve put into your body.

After a heavy weekend I get heart palpitations, I’m just glad I can’t see my liver! Should I be worried?
