    In the UK, a binge is considered as drinking six or more units of alcohol in one sitting for women, and eight or more for men. That is two large glasses of wine for a woman.

    The number of colleagues I know who casually say shit like ‘can’t wait to get home and open a bottle of wine tonight’, or spend the entirety of Stoptober salivating over the chance to start drinking again is ridiculous, and I work in the NHS. Alcohol abuse is normalised and/or romanticised way too much in this country.

    Luckily youth drinking seems to be on the decline: https://www.ias.org.uk/2023/03/28/last-orders-young-peoples-perspectives-on-the-decline-in-youth-drinking/ so that’s good.

        That’s what marketing is for.
