    Depends, on a good week about about 24 - on a bad one about 30+

      I don't drink much... I spill most of it.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        I used to share a bottle of wine with my fiancee at the weekend but even that has stopped now. I might have a glass of cider a month so I voted in the 0 option
        It's Deja-vu all over again!

          I've put 1-7, but if I go out on a night out i'll probably blow the weekly limit out of the water. Unfortunatly I don't get to go out on the lash much any more.

          Last time I went out was around christmas and I must have had around the 40-50 mark before staggering back to the hotel.

                Don't worry - you should choose the over 61 option anyway

                    1 shot of vodka (single) = 1 unit

                    A full bottle (1 litre) of decent wine (14% proof) = ~14 units
