No.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

On average I'll stick to them. It's just that I'll drink my entire allowance on a Saturday night...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

I don't. How can you take limits that were made-up seriously?
It's the same with speed-limits really.Comment

The 21 units for men is probably based on an 8 stone weed so I don't have to worry, drinking copious amounts has the added benefit of adding more pounds so you can soak up even more.
Win win.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 JohnsonComment

21 units - that's a minimum? Right?"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment

The idea is to make you feel guilty. Then when you do that test to see if you have a drink problem, you'll find that you do, because one of the questions is "have you ever felt guilty after drinking?".
There's an article possibly on timesonline.co.uk, where a journalist tried to drink 3 times the limits for a week. His health was tested before and after. What I found interesting is that he had to stop drinking before his peers.
One [study] found that men drinking between 21 and 30 units of alcohol a week had the lowest mortality rate in Britain. Another concluded that a man would have to drink 63 units a week, or a bottle of wine a day, to face the same risk of death as a teetotaller.
