But oops - yes, units, not drinks ... I was a bit enthusiastic there! blush

Sorry, Imperfect, you'd already given the link. Small drinks of low alcohol. Could be worse!

9 drinks or 9 units? Off to google before getting my hopes up. grin

I thought this was mixed news but reassuring in some ways. I like a nice glass of red but also a strong G & T. Cocktail hour is 5pm on Fridays in this house - I deserve it after golf!!!

Apparently drinking a few times a week reduces diabetes risk by about 30%:

Red wine particularly beneficial- YAY!!!!!

Gin not so (that will upset a fair few of my -fiends- friends!)

Wonder if I can trust this latest survey - there has got to be some trade off in health terms as apparently optimum amounts are 14 drinks for men and 9 for women spread over several days. But this did raise a smile as Friday is one of our wine o'clock days... grin]
