It's better to drink less in more days than drink them all in a weekend. Let's say if.
Yes, we have a recommendation, but for men and women, that it's 14 units a week, 140ml of alcohol a week. Somebody say, well, I've got to achieve that. No, no, you don't have to achieve that. You just try not to exceed that. Don't drink it all at once. Binging, yes. Taking a lot of alcohol in one go, it has two major extra harms. The first is the high levels of alcohol actually are more damaging than low levels. But also, when you're really drunk, you do other stupid things, like you fall off the stage, like you drive your car into a tree. And the injuries people get from being really drunk, they contribute a lot to the brain damage of alcohol.
