Is 9 units of alcohol a week an ok amount to be drinking?

Question

Over the past year or so, I have been drinking quite abit on a regular basis...not a major amount to the point of being sick or anything stupid like that, but going out & getting "tipsy" on a regular basis.

But I've made a decision to start getting healthier, including my alcohol intake so I've decided to start limiting myself to 9 units a week, for the weekend say...

Would this be a good decision or would it still be harming me?

I am a 21 year old female with no severe health problems & my blood pressure is always fine...just for the record lol

thanks

Answer 1

9 units is fine. Best not to drink all that in one sitting if you're being cautious but its only 3.5 pints of normal beer so even then it won't do any harm. You're much better off enjoying the drink than getting stressed about the number of units.

Answer 2

9 units/week aint nothing

Answer 3

Only young once! Since I'm in college, I'm gonna say it's ok for now.
