in this picture we see a person drinking an alcoholic drink. The person we see is from UK. this guy is drinking an alcoholic drink because in Great Britain drink over the recommended daily amount at least one day a week, figures show.

I like this pictures because I think that this guy is taking care himself. Data from the Office for National Statistics for 2007 shows one in five adults consumed more than double the "limit" on their heaviest drinking day.

NEWS SUMMARY.

A separate survey shows awareness of safe drinking limits has increased in the 10 years, but many people are still confused on the exact recommendations.
Alcohol Concern said more action was needed to tackle binge drinking.
Current advice on drinking is that men should not regularly drink more than three to four units of alcohol and women should not regularly drink more than two to three units. Figures from almost 16,000 over-16s who took part in the General Household Survey 2007 showed that 37% of adults exceeded the benchmark during the week before they were interviewed.
More men drank over the recommended limit on at least one day in the week (41%) compared with women (34%).
The figures suggest alcohol consumption is higher in the middle classes.
People in "managerial and professional" households drank more than the daily limits on their heaviest drinking day of the week (43%) than those in "routine and manual" households (31%).
There has been little change in alcohol consumption since 2006 and comparisons with previous years are difficult due to a change in how intake is measured.
