      You are what you drink, and I'm a bitter man...

          If you want us to know where we are relative to the limits, maybe you should post a link or something.

            I drink about 7 bottles of wine a week and about ten pints. No idea what that is in units or whether it is high or low?

              Three pints of beer, three times per week, is at least 18-20 units per week. That is nearly the upper weekly safe limit for a man. However, each drinking session of three pints is at least six units, which is more than the safe limit advised for any one day. Another example: a 750 ml bottle of 12% wine contains nine units. If you drink two bottles of 12% wine over a week, that is 18 units. This is above the upper safe limit for a woman.

                Its high, but I think the limits where made up of bedwetters.

                  9x7 + 3x10 ~ 100 units per week. Alledgedly 5x the recommended safe limit. And even that is supposed to be consumed not all at once, and with alcohol-free days in between.

                    Sounds high, but I don't always plan to drink that much.

                    One day I'll be dead.
