Alcohol awareness quiz
Revised UK government alcohol guidelines state that you shouldn't regularly drink more than:
10 units per week for women, 21 for men
14 units per week for both men and women
14 units per week for women, 28 for men
The new guidelines came into effect from 8 January 2016 to reflect recent scientific evidence.To keep health risks from drinking alcohol to a low level, men and women should not regularly drink more than 14 units per week. If you do drink as much as 14 units per week, try to spread this evenly over 3 days or more. It is best not to ‘save up units’ and drink them in all at once.

The correct answer is false - although the initial effects may feel stimulating, alcohol is a depressant which slows down how you think, move and react. So it’s not the best way to pick yourself up. Moderate exercise offers a positive alternative to alcohol, stimulating the release of feel-good endorphins in the body, improving sleep patterns, physical fitness and mood.

Alcohol will warm you up if you're cold
True
False
This is false. A shot of whisky or brandy can make you feel warmer for a bit, but alcohol actually lowers your body temperature, so it’s not always a good idea in cold weather.
